Why would Kyle Whittingham ever leave Utah? SLC is his home. It's his home his kids leave in Utah as well as any future grand children. I am guessing that being around family is more important o him then anything else. Whittingham turned down the Tennessee job a few years ago so why would he ever leave Utah. I only see him leaving only if he gets fired but if he does he will stay in Utah and take another position down the road at another Utah school.
