Kyle will turn 60 this season.

In March, he signed a contract extension, for $22M, through December, 2023.

Following the announcement of the resignation of Urban Meyer, Bill Riley interviewed Whit about the 2018 regular season, and the yet-to-be-lost Holiday Bowl. Towards the end of the interview, Riley asked Whit about Urban. He said that they had spoken, he talked about Urban's success, his intensity, and the physical toll that it takes on Urban. Riley said something "I've never seen Urban as one of those coaches who coaches into his late 60's, and 70's.

To which Whit replied "I'm not one of those coaches either." He said that he and Sister Whittingham (🙂) have a deal, and that there are things that they want to do, after coaching.

I don't know KW. I've had one half hour conversation with him- and met him one other time. He wouldn't know me from Adam. My brother, however, majored in Broadcast Journalism- and actually worked at ESPN 700 for a year, while in college. He is still good friends with a guy who works for the athletic department. His friend indicated that he believed KW would sign *one* more extension, for 1-3 years. But that it's possible 2023 could be it.

As for Ludwig...

Andy and Kyle worked together for 4 years, from 2005-2008. He was Kyle's first OC, and achieved enormous success in 2008. Kyle hated seeing Ludwig go, but there was no way Utah could match what a P5 program could.

Obviously, the OC position has been musical chairs since Ludwig left. On several occasions, KW has gauged Ludwig's interest, but the timing was never right. When Taylor left, last year, Kyle called Ludwig, and he was excited at the opportunity to come back. While there is no guarantee about anything- Ludwig intends to be around for a while.
