Dude the news is all over the national media.

Meaning, a few internet stories are just that. I have ZERO DOUBT that this is 24/7 here, but a blip on anyone outside of Utah's radar. Even those with University of Utah ties.
& I'm not saying it's good for recruiting or the program, but I don't think kids are flocking elsewhere due to it. Nobody signs until Feb 4th....
Statement from Chris Hill:
[QUOTE=accadacca;565424]Statement from Chris Hill:
It's a dead period, nobody should be talking to recruits. Statement would(is out) be out by the time it's over.
blogs and messages boards don't mean much to me. I contacted a friend in Nebraska, Utah Alumn and big fan, said its crickets there. Only stuff he sees in looking on the Online Trib 4-5 times a week.
800K to Sitake would have put him in the top 10 paid assistant coaches in CFB....
A few of the national websites that covered Utah Football's dirty laundry, but yeah, no big deal....
Local
- KSL
- SLTrib, DNews and other local outlets with a dozen articles...
Yep, aware of all those...you are not telling me anything and AGAIN, it is small potatoes.
I'm fine if you don't agree with me & think the nation is following this story.
Didn't see in mentioned on ESPN television once. Not once on any of their television programming. It was a non story.
All the "Maybe's" are because I really have no idea, just throwing stuff against the wall.
Exactly. It's about what it doesn't say...
Whitt is currently #43 and #6 in the Pac: http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries
I don't think this is about how much Witt makes. 6th in the PAC 12 is very respectable for a new P5 team. Witt has also turned down more money (Tennessee) to stay at Utah. This is something else, I just can't put my finger on it because nothing makes sense, which I think is what really bugs the news guys.
Hmmm.... what if a team was waiting until after their bowl game to announce Witt as their new head coach.... that would make sense.... think Florida Gators. That's a job that would be difficult to turn down. It also makes everything stated in today's press release true, at least as of today.
