easier for his coordinators to work with, and his judgment in hiring/managing coordinators did not change either. His in game adjustments did not change as well.
Just worth pointing out that the complaints about Bronco (which I don't dispute, largely) are not any better with Whittingham, and in some cases are arguably worse.
Utah's best year in the last 3 is 8-4, flirting with a chance to compete for a conference championship. They have since lost their coordinators and had to fend off another fight for their head coach, and lost some good recruits, as well as gained a new competitor for the bottom of the Pac 12.
They have their Pac 12 stickers. I'm not convinced they are all glitz and glam.
