Five days after the national signing day saw the Utes ink six native Texan recruits, Utah football head coach Kyle Whittingham found his replacement for recently-departed offensive line coach Charlie Dickey in Blake Miller.

The fifth-year head coach spoke about the potential relapse the team and program could have gone through after former coach Urban Meyer left for Florida after the 2004 season.

Less than two weeks after the Utah football team's wide receivers coach Aaron Roderick accepted the same position at the University of Washington, a change of heart brought him back to the U.

Following Friday's parade celebrating the Utah football team's 13-0 season and BCS-busting Sugar Bowl victory Jan. 2, thousands of Utah fans turned Washington Square into a sea of red, tossing fistfuls of sugar and chanting, "We're number one!"

Hours after Utah announced wide receivers coach Aaron Roderick and running backs coach Dave Schramm would be co-offensive coordinators, Schramm was named the offensive coordinator and Roderick was ancient history.

Roderick, who was rumored to being courted by Washington, announced later on Saturday, that he was indeed joining the Huskies' coaching staff as the wide receivers coach. This was after an official press release and several news stories announced his co-coordinator position at Utah.

Co-coordinators. That's the direction the U football team's offense has taken as Whittingham promoted both Andy Roderick and Dave Schramm to the post for next season.

Those wishing to participate are asked to wear their MUSS shirts and meet at the staging area today on South Temple and State Street no later than 2:30 p.m.

The American Football Coaches Association named Whittingham its 2008 National Coach of the Year on Tuesday. The AFCA award is the oldest national coach of the year award, dating back to 1935.

Beginning at 3 p.m., the Utes, alongside the cheerleaders, Utah band, Swoop and the MUSS, will start a commemoration walk from the Eagle Gate entrance on South Temple and State Street to the Salt Lake City-County Building at Washington Square on 400 South.
