Coaching Coaching Carousel 2025-26 - Not Miami Related

I’ve always respected Whittingham and his coaching abilities, but I can’t help but wonder if they’re getting him too late, similar to our situation with coach Richt. If nothing else, I think he stabilizes the program while they get some of that stench out of the building. With Whittingham, you know he will raise the floor dramatically, but I’m not sure he necessarily raises the ceiling.

Im not sure people understand how much of an advantage it is to know what the play is when calling a defense
 
This is a good hire by Michigan for sure. Whittingham always won at Utah.

But I’m sure he had Michigan over a barrel and has created a very favorable contract. Probably a huge buyout.
 
Good for UMI. Whittingham would never have fit at Miami. But he's an exceptional coach who has 10x the brain power of Ryan Day. I can see UMI being a tough opponent under KW and winning big games similar to Cignetti over at Indiana, even if they won't have quite as good overall talent acquisition as Taint

Just knowing whether its a run or pass play is enough to create an incredible advantage.

It’s just like the Houston Astros. They were telling each other just two things with their sign stealing; fastball or off speed pitch. Not exactly which pitch it would be, or inside/outside, but just fastball or off speed pitch. And that was an incredible advantage and lead to them winning a World Series.

In high level sports when the margins are slim, any advantage can be very impactful.
 
So, does Utah not have internet on flight to Vegas? I keep reading CKW will address the team today.
