Kyle's Conference

Kyle said it in the press conference yesterday that coaching evaluations will be done at the end of the season.  He also stated, which is dumbfounding to me, that he "doesn't meddle in the offense."  So basically what Ludwig says and does on offense goes.  Kyle has not control there.  He said he doesn't want to get involved and mess things up.  That says to me he doesn't know what to do on offense even if he did get involved.  Not a good trait as a head coach.  That also shows that he wasn't paying any attention to what Urban was doing while he was here or at any of the meetings, conversations, or camps, including the Fiesta Bowl National Championship game for Florida that Kyle has been involved in.  What is the point of this friendship?  Looks like Urban is getting some good defensive advice but we don't pick anything up.  We are going through the same thing BYU did with Gary Crowten.  He knew offense, but couldn't run a team.  He did well as a coordinator and continues to at Oregon.  Kyle would do the same.  
 
But now at the present what is to be done to salvage this season and get some wins.  If it's money then head coaching change is out of the question.  Cheaper and more efficient now would be to let Ludwig go now.  If this isn't an option either then Kyle needs to check out some books from the library "College Football OFFENSE For Dummies" and "How To Be a Head Coach" this week and then take Ludwig by the balls and say, "This is how we are going to do things."  The responsibility lies with Kyle.  And if he can't get it done then Chris Hill has got to step in. 
 
Just one more thing to add to Kyle's pile is his lack of discipline.  There is none on his team.  The team doesn't have the amount of respect that he needs to lead them to victory.  He is too soft on his players as well as his coaching staff.  Before long he will be Grandpa Whit like Coach Mac.  To confirm this not only was Casteel not repremanded for celebration in the end zone at the Oregon St. game but one of our receivers, Wilson I believe, was charged with a DUI before the Air Force game and still allowed to play.  There are several other universities in the country that would not allow this to happen.  Of all people why Kyle and the U of U.  We have an image of the football team, university, and the state to hold up.  We don't need players like this.  We don't need coaches that don't put their foot down on things like this.  Where was Chris Hill on this issue.  Where is President Young?  Maybe we should ask ourselves "What would Meyer do?"  Ok, just kidding that was a joke to lighten things up.  But really I am disappointed in many aspects.  Truely, "WHAT IS TO BE DONE?"

The "Don't Tread on Me" Flag: The First Navy Jack is enjoying renewed popularity these days thanks to an order from the Secretary of the Navy that directs all U.S. Navy ships to fly the First Navy Jack for the duration of the War on Terrorism.
