The simplest explanation is that Whitt wasn't used to the talent level of a program like Michigan. He ran fall camp like a country club and figured he'd just roll the kids out.

Not understanding one that this is Michigan fergodsakes and everybody wants a good shot, and second that even talented kids need coaching. I'm not saying he's not coaching, what I am saying is that he's not used to this level of competition, certainly not under the lights in front of 100k.
If he didn't have the kids ready to play in the opener against a MAC (granted a solid one) squad it doesn't bode well for next week imo. Like I expect all the same types of mistakes. The only difference will be if somehow OU shoots themselves in the foot more than we do. Maybe.

Sounds like we should have hired someone with ties to the program?

Related to that perhaps, a thought that I had today regarding not hitting and physicality

Utah was more talented last year and probably is this year. He brought a ton of Utah guys with him due to talent gaps on roster*

Whitt talked a good game but after 9 months delivered a stillborn team, and will probably face the same fate as Anne Boleyn*
