Whittingham won't leave Utah.. But some of his coaches might...

Whittingham's retirement at Utah is already setup. He'll get $$$ for being an 'advisor' after he retires.

However, guys like Scalley are showing up on sites like footballscoop as candidates for some of the HC job openings. IMHO, Scalley is the heir apparent and won't leave Utah... but I would expect to see some assistants leave.

Any chance K Whittingham leaves Utah after this year?

KWhitt to Florida State would be great. Away from BYU forever

I would be so happy to have Whitt at FSU. I could cheer for him again.

Is Michigan looking for a coach?

LOL, nope. UCLA likely is though.

If Kyle wanted to leave Utah it would’ve happened by now

DieHarder

12/4/19 2:06pm

He's probably 5 years away from retiring, not the time to jump ship and start

MikeDitka'sStache

12/4/19 2:08pm

Depends on what kind of buyout he gets there. I'd take another job if I was guaranteed enough.

chago04

12/4/19 2:12pm

seems like the perfect time to get a better paying job

Mississippi

12/4/19 2:12pm

I think he’s doing fine financially.

DieHarder

12/4/19 2:13pm

I think so too, but as far as timing goes

Mississippi

12/4/19 2:17pm

Isn't he making close to $4M per year? I believe he is now the highest paid

SnickSnack

12/4/19 5:14pm

Do the math. KW has gotta have over $20M in the bank now. Easy.

Lack of money shouldn't be what's keeping him from retiring.

Eddie

12/4/19 2:14pm

That's not what I'm saying

Mississippi

12/4/19 2:21pm

No.

If/when he steps down from coaching, he will stay at Utah

UW isn't looking for a coach, and USC doesn't appear to be either.

12/4/19 2:10pm

UW already filled the opening?

Blue Heart

Yes at the same press conference

He's the third highest paid P12 coach (and Peterson, #1, just stepped down).

zonacougar

12/4/19 2:11pm

He's 60, I doubt he wants to start over anywhere.

Mark my words... he wants to be the Lavell of utah 🙂

TheLost

Neither Southern Cal nor Washington are currently looking for head coaches.

Ute in DC

12/4/19 2:11pm

None. He has a retirement plan built into his Utah contract covering 10 years.

BYUinTX

12/4/19 2:14pm

This. His contract is public information and he would be an idiot to leave.

Here are some details

I read it. All I can say is, I shoulda been a college football coach. 🙂

BleedCougarBlue2

12/4/19 8:43pm

My take on KW is that he would be too scared to go to a bigger program

12/4/19 2:15pm

He doesn’t strike as the timid type

holy crap. Was traveling and didn't see he had resigned. surprising

I don't see it. I wish he'd leave, but he'll spend the rest of hi career at Utah

Backcountry

12/4/19 2:21pm

No. Why would he?

kansascougar

12/4/19 2:44pm

I don't know. Why does any college coach switch schools?

boorad

12/4/19 3:18pm

Only if they have reason to. He has every reason to stay.

No, Scalley is a possibility though.

Nah, Scalley is going to take over when Whitt retires.
