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

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

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.

displacedute

12/4/19 2:10pm

UW already filled the opening?

Blue Heart

12/4/19 7:50pm

Yes at the same press conference

Mississippi

12/4/19 8:06pm

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

TheLost

12/4/19 2:11pm

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.

Welcome to Whittingham field at Rice Eccles Stadium

I thought the UofU only named buildings for wealthy donors - Eccles, Hunstman,

StarMan

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

TheLost

12/4/19 2:41pm

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.

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

PortlandCoug

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

yahtzee

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. He made his money and now has a nice reputation. He retires at uu.

No, Scalley is a possibility though.

12/4/19 8:48pm

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