Honestly Utah (and somewhat TCU) are the blueprint we are wanting to follow. It makes sense to see what they do

He was trained by Urban Meyer. That was his thing. Hate the rival.

I love KW, but he's not great as the favorite, or when he has something to lose.

Very true. That's his whole schtick. Underdog chip on his shoulder.

He is in the same tier as Saban, Meyer, and Sweeney.
Backcountry

Wouldn't go that far, he's top 15, probably even top 10, but def not top 5
krindorr
12/3/22 8:11am
How many national championships has Kyle won (legitimately, that is)? He’s a good coach, but he’s not at that level.
Texas Hammer
12/3/22 8:14am
Hes at Utah. He turned a mid level MWC program into a P5 power. At USC Whitt

I'd say that transformation happened under Urban but whit kept it going.

Utah was losing to Air Force and New Mexico regularly when Whitt took over.

12/3/22 8:37am
NM had a decent team back then. Air Force was always a hard game.

You can argue that but it's a hypothetical - Swinney, Smart, Saban, Urban etc all actually did it

Oh really it’s not a debate. There are only 3 or so guys that are elite
chitownboy
12/3/22 10:46am
I'd say elite. Back to back P12 championships. In the game what 4x in a row?
BYUfan92
12/3/22 10:00am
They haven’t even sniffed the playoffs yet. But yeah let’s say he’s elite.

When they officially select teams Utah has never been in the conversation.

I don’t think being in the Big12 makes much difference in recruiting unless we have the right coaches recruiting.
