U Coach Kyle Whittingham Faces Ultimatim: His job or Andy's

All Signals Indicate a Losing Season

With a losing season on the verge of happening after the Utes' stellar loss to New Mexico after blowing a 21 point lead, Whittingham's options are looking to be underwater. What options will he have left to exercise after trying every option to revitalize the team this year? Simple. He can give up his job, or Andy's.

Why the Utes need to keep Whit

Whit hasn't had much of an opportunity to show what he is made of. It is his second season as a head coach. He has an offense that is difficult to run, and the OC running the 'O' has very questionable abilities. As well, Whit is a great link that has kept communications with Florida Gators' head coach Urban Meyer wide open. Utah can't afford at this point to sever those lines.

What needs to happen, then?

Whit needs to get rid of Ludwig. Not only to keep his job, and Chris Hill's inbox clear of dissent, but also to show that he is an effective head coach. He also needs to get at least one Defensive Coordinator. College football is too complicated for the Head Coach to be operating the defence too. BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall found that out, made corrections, and has a team on the way to the championship this year. Urban Meyer has to DCs.

This season is prettymuch decided; prepare for next year

The Utes need to realise that the season is prettymuch decided. It will be either a losing season, or by some miracle, a 7-5 barely-winning season. Players who can prepare for next year by gaining experience need to gain it now. They surely can't give us any worse perfomance or unsigtly football than we have already seen. Get them ready to play for the championship next year.

And don't forget to get an OC who is willing to run the Meyer spread offense, and not a version of his own.
