    I don’t think Whittingham is a great hire but they could do a lot worse.

    If he gets a great OC, it's an ace hire. Promote Shep to OC, keep Huff, profit.

    Whittingham fits traditional Husky Football (balanced offense, nasty on D) but what's his buyout?

    What Whittingham has done for a place like Utah is impressive. I want to think that UW has more going for it than the Utes, but I’m a little gunshy right now.

    Still, he’d stick around for the duration and this team would be Pat Hill tuff. I’d just want him to have an OC who can score.

    Wittingham would be dope. His teams are stubborn as fuck, play defense. They have only lacked elite qbs and wrs, which I think he can access at UW.

    B1G membership would be a good selling point for him.

    Utah is one of the few programs who has competed in the trenches with anyone they go against, but they don't have the speed at the skill positions. If he's hired it would be wise to keep Shep.

    Fisch is the only guy that could turn it around for the 2025 season

    Either Klieman and Leopold could be successful but that would be rebuilding

    Campbell would be whatever. 8 years at Iowa St and 18-21 over his last 3 is pretty miserable.

    If Florida sucks next year, which they probably will (insane schedule), then the AD is gone and so is Napier.

    And then Fisch is gone after one year.

    No.

    You structure a contract with that in mind.
    Fisch will not accept a large buyout clause if he is waiting for Florida.
    Not every coach is dying to coach at their alma mater. Especially if they've been shit for awhile.

    McElwaine bitched about the lack of support, Mullens was a big personality that couldn't recruit, then they had that NIL debacle last year. They're far behind a bunch of schools in their own division including a complete juggernaut.

    Out of curiosity who do you think IS a great hire?

    Whittingham would be a tremendous hire lmao, they just had a downseason of 8-4 with a backup qb
