    Predict the Utah Offensive Shakeup

    What do you think will happen?
    32
    1. Kyle hires Dennis Erickson a la Anae: complete authority to hire his own offensive staff.
    9.38%
    3
    2. Kyle hires Dennis Erickson a la Chow: limited authority, and a 1 year contract. No staff changes.
    37.50%
    12
    3. Dennis turns down offer, and no press conference is called; BriJo is still in.
    31.25%
    10
    4. Dennis turns down offer, and another “one-and-done” candidate is sought.

    I am hoping that 1 happens. I am expecting 3 to happen. I think 2 will be the offer to Erickson and he would be smart to turn that down.

      Man, I loved Erickson when I was at Oregon State. He is good for a quick fix, but I am not sure he would fit in with the utes.

        I think we are supposed to find out in just a few minutes.

          Kevin Graham is saying Utah will hire Billy Gonzales. I'm interested to see how Whittingham will shuffle the offensive staff assignments.

            There just isn't a reason for a PAC-12 school to settle for Brian Johnson. Maybe he will be great down the road, but Utah shouldn't be his proving ground.

            Utah should be looking for a proven offensive mind, regardless of name.

              Gonzales hasn't even interviewed. Graham is repeating a Twitter rumor from last night.

                Graham has turned out to have good sources, at least for BYU information, but I'd certainly take your word for it. What do you think Whit is going to do, JIC?

                      I will be absolutely thrilled if this is true. I'm been pushing for Billy Gonzales at Utah since Meyer left. I wanted Gonzales as the OC when Meyer left. I'm very doubtful that this is true.

                        It has been a long 11-12 years since he left Corvallis. He flamed out with the 49ers, flamed out with Idaho and flamed out with Arizona State. I'd love to see him at Utah or in Seattle.

                          Unfortunately, as it speaks to the quality of the sports talk on this board, I think he was talking about Billy Gonzales.

                            I think Graham is just connecting the dots on this one. I doubt he has any real source.

                            Billy Gonzales leaves Illinois today + Utah is looking for a new coach + Gonzales used to be at Utah = Utah hiring him

                            If you are right, you can claim that you have great sources without having a source.
