Utah was willing to spend more money.

Not so much for what he could have done at BYU but more for what a good Utah

Yep. The utes would have hired their offensive coordinator that ended up a dud

I don’t buy the idea that he’d be as good here

Had he got started here, with Lavell mentoring him he would have done very well.

I thought part of it was Whit didn't want to deal with the HC

No... He was leaning towards BYU, but a bunch of Utah players showed up at his house, and asked him to stay.

I dont think Whittingham would have the same success at BYU that he has had at Utah.

The BOT will not pay what it takes to get a good coach, even with booster money.

They also understand that spending more money would be a poor investment

I would say Utah being in the Pac 12 has been more of a factor than Whitt

Before the "invite", BYU led 3-2. But before Utah actually joined the Pac-12, 3-3. The teams were pretty evenly matched.

Bradley’s knee was down. Should have been 4-2 🙂
