    I've not heard anything, but who says Sitake is leaving? Or is this just junkie's wishful thinking?

        Interesting. It's a lateral move for him, but if that's what he wants, all the best to him.

          It would give him a salary increase (maybe doubling it), add to his AQ conference resume, and expand his network of contacts. Right now he's mainly got connections in Utah (and in Hawaii, with Chow, but that's still a Utah-based contact). So to me it seems like a no-brainer, on the surface at least. I'm told that for assistants, the contact network is everything because job security is even worse than for head coaches. I've met Sitake and he seems like a great guy. I hope he makes the right decision for him.

            Washington hires Justin Wilcox from Tennessee.

            Sitake stays at Utah!

              Parallel maybe, but calling Utah a step back from Washington is just silly.

                  Ted Miller's final PAC-12 power rankings.

                  1. Oregon
                  2. USC
                  3. Stanford
                  4. Utah: Yep, the grind of a Pac-12 schedule really wore down the Utes. Yep, the Utes just couldn't handle it. But, with all due humility, how many other conference teams won four of their final five games and a bowl game? If you're looking for a sneaky-good team in the South Division next season, you might want to cast your gaze to Salt Lake City.
                  5. Washington
                  6. California
                  7. UCLA
                  8. Arizona
                  9. Arizona State
                  10. Oregon State
                  11. Washington State
                  12. Colorado

                    hmmm .... interesting, I think Ted Miller is being a bit to kind. I think he's putting to much weight on the bowl games.

                    I'd rank Utah 6th behind Washington and Cal.

                      If CAL all of the recruits that have committed to them actually sign on February 1st. CAL is going to be a force in the next year or two.

                      Mcarthy, Payton, Zach Kline, Michael Barton, Cedric Dozier, Darius Powe, Shaq Thompson, Bryce Treggs are all 4 star or higher with Thompson and McCarthy being 5 star kids.

                      On top of that they are in the hunt still for Arik Armstead. This is by far the best class they have ever signed a top 10 class nationally.

                      If they can build on this they could become a big time threat in the Pac-12.

                        Cal has always had players. As evidenced by this page. [ame="http://espn.go.com/nfl/college/_/letter/c"]NFL Players by College - C - National Football League - ESPN[/ame]

                        Here's a breakdown of how many players are in the NFL from a couple of schools in the PAC-12. Cal seems to be second only to USC.

                          Agreed, although when I looked at their full class it seems that the perception of their class due to so many of their commits announcing at the all-american games is a bit greater than the reality. Still, they've really got a good thing going over there.

                              So wait is Ted Miller respectable or not? I was hearing on this board how good ASU was going to be next year. But Ted Miller says they suck.

                                Congratulations Utah on being the 3rd or 4th best in the conference. that is pretty respectable and very scrappy. good job.
                                Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
