Kyle Whittingham raised Utah from National Program II to Power Program II.
In the run game, the QB read aspect of it wasn’t quite as sharp as we need it to be
This game will go down in Michigan history
He's our QB right now, and it's not something that's infinite
Well, I guess they have this Hawkeye system? I was unaware of that
It's not just Bryce's job that is not absolutely set in concrete
We have a ton of work to do
Hey, hang in there, keep competing
The extra second was huge
I liken it to Christmas morning
Everything seems to work in concert with each other
We still feel that way
(He) hasn’t lost a thing
Marshall … had some struggles in the spring, some things that I wasn’t real pleased with off the field
He’s one of the best pass rushers on the team, if not the best pure pass rusher
I hate depth charts
With Lane Kiffin I think that’s a good concept, we have to have a salary cap
We see Bryce every day, we know what he knows, where he’s at and where we need him to get and the time and effort he’s putting into everything
(Hate is) a strong word, but I want to win that game as bad as anybody in Ann Arbor
Would we have a better chance to win if I hated them?
There’s periods in practice or the weight room that it’s talked about
Nathaniel Staehling is instinctive, he reminds me of some of the backers you’ve seen in the NFL
It’s been really good to have him on the field
So, those three guys right there are probably the top three as far as putting pressure on the quarterback
We’ve probably got 5 or 6 that are really playing at a high level
When all’s said and done, we want about seven guys that we feel confident we can put in the game
Jamie Ffrench is starting to come into his own
The offensive line is starting to take shape
Babalola is doing a nice job out there
We got to get the five best football players out there
We get around 10 practices under our belt
We had all these real tall, long, good-looking athletes, but the strength wasn’t there
Bryce will have a lot more confidence in his O-line this year
You watched the tape last year and (Underwood) was running for his life quite often
He’’d be the quarterback of the whole secondary
We feel that we have five or six guys, four for sure, that could roll through there and win games for us
Hate's a strong word
Little thin in the secondary as far as guys that have accumulated a lot of reps
You want your quarterback to be confident, and if that’s his belief and feel, that’s great, I have no problem with that
Urban Meyer was a huge influence on me in terms of my head coaching philosophy
When you coach guys for a couple of years, you get to know your personnel and what to expect
With NIL raising 20, 30 or 40% a year, it’s not sustainable to stay on the path we’re on right now
You better have the vision of winning Big Ten championships and competing for national championships
He's got a tremendously high ceiling and he wants to be great
I stepped down and wasn’t sure if there was going to be more to the career or not
His real stature score, season by season, across every program he’s coached — so a stretch that stays in one tier the whole way can still climb or sink on the line, not just flatten out. Node color marks the tier reached. Which program a stretch belongs to is carried by the shaded lane behind it.
Reached Blue Blood in his 23rd career season — faster than 2% of the 100 FBS coaches who have ever reached Blue Blood (rank #98 of 100 by seasons-to-arrival).
Where each stint’s offense sat between run-first and pass-first, and how far it moved from one season to the next. The band is that stint’s real season-to-season range, not a fixed-width box.
Season-to-season pass-rate range for all 258 FBS coaching stints with at least three covered seasons, 2014–2025.
How he does in the games that matter most — rivalry record, performance broken out by real opponent tier, one-score games, and his toughest historical matchup.
20–8 against his rivals. Just 2–6 against Chris Petersen.
A statistical estimate of this coach’s contribution to team performance, separated from that season’s roster talent, returning production, and his coordinators — pooled across his whole head-coaching career.
Model fit as of 2026-09-04.

Scalley didn’t study this week, that’s for sure. Why is every LB playing right above the Center? Cincy lives on outside runs!

6th-best Michigan tenure of 13 by the numbers.
Followed Sherrone Moore (2024–2025).
A typical amount of portal roster-building.
Brings in smaller-than-position-typical players than most.
Recruits younger transfers than most — more of a development bet.
6 NFL Draft picks: Derrick Moore (2026), Marlin Klein (2026), Jaishawn Barham (2026), Jimmy Rolder (2026), Max Bredeson (2026), Rayshaun Benny (2026)
1 player-season honored (All-America / national award): John Henry Daley (2026)
1st-best Utah tenure of 13 by the numbers.
Performs about as expected for his recruiting talent on offense and outperforms his recruiting talent on defense.
