What's a Ute?

Congrats to Kyle Whittingham.

Hiring Michigan Men seems to have been the impetus for their multiple current and recent predicaments

This looks like Rich Rod. I would say possibly worse, but Rich Rod was awful at Michigan. This hire is a head scratcher.

nah it’s a top 3 hire

Lane to lsu was 1

But this one and Franklin to VT can be interchanged for 2 and 3

Yep! Whittingham is exactly what they need right now.

Same with Franklin to Va Tech. That one likely will have more longevity.

Whittingham is an excellent coach with sustained success, not a gimmick coach who had the perfect personnel fall in his lap.

Not at all. This guy is top notch. He starts with defense and the run game. He’s gonna have a pass rush that will be amoung the best in the country and a dominant run game and that wins. He is nothing like RichRod. You take a great fundamental coach, put him with those resources and the ability to get the players Michigan will have access to and you have a monster. This is the best hire of the season.
