Utah's ceiling is as high as their coach can take them. For Utah to succeed, you guys need to recruit in California or overseas or wherever. In that regard, you're up against every other program in the west. Your competitive advantage is your coach. Plain and simple. That's it. So if your coach is fantastic, you have a chance to be fantastic. It's extremely low probability for me looking in from the outside that:
1. The coach you hire happens to become one of the greatest game coaches and recruiters in the country.
2. Said coach stays long enough for you to enjoy sustained success.
All the Boise's, UTEP's, Wyomings, Nevadas, New Mexicos, Gonzagas, and Utahs want it. Utah got lucky. Gonzaga's getting lucky. Boise's getting lucky in football. But it's not high probability.
