Always important to honor the indigenous people of this land!

Utes are not a mascot but a namesake to be carried with dignity and respect for Goshute, Navajo, Paiute, Shoshone and of course Ute tribes who have called Utah territory home for some 10,000 years. #UteProud Forever🪶

The people did decide in 2018 and you didn't like the results. The people decided against vouchers in 2007 and you didn't like those results. You don't care what the people decided, sue until you get the results you want and lie about how it all happened. #utpol

I've been thinking a lot about Morgan Scalley's introductory press conference. To paraphrase, he specifically said, "I believe we can win a national championship here at the University of Utah, and it's gonna take all of us… and then some."

The words ruminating most in my mind from that press conference (aside from being great fathers) are "it's gonna take all of us… and then some."

Those words made us feel part of the team-quite literally as if we fans suit up with them each game and take the field. That made me think about Utah fandom and how we can pull our weight for these players, coaches, and everyone else involved. I don't know all the answers, but I thought about programs that have won national titles before us (besides BYU, because that didn't count) and how they got there.

Thanks to the internet, and to summarize the obvious, research shows the blue-blood fanbases are massive. So to me, a key ingredient as fans is to become even more massive than we currently are. How exactly do we do that? There have been things happening recently that are not great for the fanbase. While it's okay to have differences in how we see things, one thing we all need to do is remain unified as Utes. Our energy bleeds into the locker room, and that blood must be a unified, loving family. We cannot be a dysfunctional family and bleed the right energy into that locker room.

In order to grow into a massive, blue-blood-type fanbase and program, it doesn't end at just loving each other. It also means supporting each other. Like Morgan said, it's about serving others. Here on X, we can show support through engagement: like each other's stuff, retweet it, share it, come join spaces and make your voice heard. Be part of this family. Each fan has a voice and energy to offer the Utah Utes that pushes Wayshawn Parker that extra inch to extend a drive or fuels Lander Barton's intuition for a game-sealing interception in a miracle comeback.

So love each other, support each other, and remember- even when it's hard to like someone or their stuff- that this is for Morgan, for Bud, and for Grandpa Ford. This is how "it's gonna take all of us… and then some" gets us to the higher heights Morgan is talking about and taking us to. Be there for the accounts that have few followers as much as the ones with large followings. The more we like, share, and get Ute voices into the atmosphere, the bigger, louder, and more inevitable we become to the Alabamas, Michigans, and Ohio States.

Liking, sharing, and engaging in Ute fandom is not about any individual or their agenda, even though some will stand to benefit at different levels. It's about Utah athletics. It's about becoming inevitable. It's about becoming champions.

Family on 3… Go Utes!!!
#GoUtes

P.s.- I love you

P.s.s- it's ok to root for Oregon, Indiana, Michigan etc and be kind to those fanbases. Believe it or not, they can share, like, etc our stuff too which only helps build the word Ute.

I watched Kyle Whittingham lead his program through unimaginable loss — not by moving past it, but by allowing space to work through it. The way Utah honors Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe every season is one of the most powerful moments I’ve ever witnessed in a stadium.

And sometimes, the game gives us alignments you could never script. Moments that feel bigger than football. Stories that remind you why sport matters — and why we hold onto them long after the final whistle.

Michigan football: you're getting a future Hall of Fame coach, a winner but most importantly a man who will impact your locker room in powerful ways, regardless of wins or losses.

I will not hop on the Kyle Whittingham hate train.

Kyle did too much good at the U for me to hate him.

Does it suck losing a lot of staff and probably players? Yes.

But Kyle has to do what’s best for his current program.

But it’s always Go Utes! In Scalley I trust

[Kevin Graham @KGrahamContent]

Seeing a lot of outrage from Utah fans about Kyle Whittingham purging their coaching staff to come to Michigan. Thoughts:
1. While Utah didnt shove him out they definitely gently pushed him that way. Could of played in the purge.
2. But reality is for Whitt to succeed at Michhgan he has to have a staff full of "his" guys. Good coaches that know him, have his back and he can trust. Lots of politics at Michigan. Has to do it his way.
3. And you can be mad at him, but I'm sure many of the assistants could have stayed but didnt. I'm sure money played a factor but more importantly it's to put Michigan on their resume. Unless it goes completely upside down that could be career transformational for all of them.
4. I get it. Your emotional fans. But it's business. Now you have to have faith in your AD and his decision to elevate Scalley to HC and instill his own identity for the program.

[ZMO✝️ @PresMoss2]

You guys have to stop with these narratives lol... Taking guys you hired to another program and hiring them there is NORMAL. Everyone mad staffers leaving that Whitt mentored. Scalley will have to do the same, that's what makes a great coach

[Morgan Scalley @RSNBUtes]

To the greatest fans in the nation, Thank you! The seniors and leaders on this team deserved this! Grateful for the coaches and support staff for the sacrifices! What a night! A Utah Man Am I!!

Here is the timeline of the supposed "Drama" inside Utah Football.

2025: Rumors of Moore’s multi-year affair and inappropriate social media conduct persist during a 9-3 season.

​Nov 29: Michigan loses to Ohio State, snapping a four-year rivalry winning streak.

​Dec 8: The female staff member involved ends the relationship with Moore.

​Dec 10: Moore is fired "with cause" after the staff member provides evidence of the affair. Later that day, Moore is arrested and charged with felony home invasion and stalking. Biff Poggi is named interim coach.

​Dec 11: Michigan contacts Kyle Whittingham’s agent; internal search includes several coaches, their Agents are pinged for interest. Whittingham is interested. Mutual interest confirmed. UM doesn't want a PSU fiasco, asks for a firm commitment.

​Dec 12: Whittingham resigns from Utah after 21 seasons, entering the "coaching transfer portal."

​Dec 14-20: Whittingham is the primary candidate; Michigan fast tracks the deal. Lawyers begin drafting agreements and Michigan officials meet Whittingham in person. 100% done deal. Binding MOU completed.

​Dec 21: AD Warde Manuel signals a hire is imminent before the bowl game.

​Dec 24–25: Whittingham final agreements in place.

​Dec 26 (Today): Michigan signs Whittingham to a five-year contract to provide a "culture reset." $40M.

​Next.

Utah in Las Vegas Bowl mode.

Go Utes!

I’ve lived in Utah County for the majority of my life. Until last year, my life in the State of Utah revolved around BYU in some form or fashion — as a student-athlete, athletic administrator, and a football coach.

10 years ago, I left Provo to become a master of my craft with the intent of someday returning home. Kyle Whittingham made that happen! Salt Lake City is home now and I’m proud to represent the masses in my current capacity.

Yet, looking at this picture makes me feel some-type-a-way because just a quick 10 years ago my perspective differed DRASTICALLY from the reality I now know wholeheartedly. For years I’ve had an adversarial relationship with Coach Whitt and his former staffs because we competed fiercely against each other in games and recruiting. After spending his last year at the University of Utah together, here’s what I absolutely know about him:

- He’s a master football coach. Trust me on this: he’ll forget more football than most of us will ever learn or know. I had no clue he was such a special teams guru. That did trip me out a bit this year.

- He’s a bigtime Family Man. I’m unsure where his next path will lead, but if he does indeed retire, I’m happy for Mrs Jaime and his family—especially his grandkids who totally adore their Grandpa.

- He’s a man of God. During the season, our program sets aside time for chapel and institute. Coach Whitt never missed. I’d hear his comments and feel the passion he brought with them. I know his relationship with God is truly personal to him.

- He’s an awesome human being. He’s cool to hang out with, is witty as hell, and has a cool sense of humor.

Last one:

- He will beat your ass in 60s/70s/early 80s Classic Rock Trivia. Album, song title, what’s on the album cover, where the band originates, who the lead singer is, who the lead singer’s replacement was, who the band members are, all that and more — he’s a freckin’ STUD. I was in awe as I had the Aux and tried to stump him while we were out recruiting and he nailed all the songs and provided detailed information on the things I said. Coach Simon is my witness.

In gist: In my experience, perception is NOT reality in the case of Kyle Whittingham. And, because he can give two shits about what you think of him, that flawed perception continues to live in the minds of many.

I can only speak for myself in saying that Kyle Whittingham is a true LIVING LEGEND and I’m elated and honored to have spent his last year as the HC of the University of Utah as his RBs coach. Thanks Coach Whittingham for bringing my family and me back to the 801 and for the experience of sharing this 2025 season with you. My family and I are indebted forever.

Alofa tele mo oe, Coach. Let’s finish this off right with number 11 in Vegas.
