Kyle Whittingham retires and Utah goes back to being what they were before his tenure: a mediocre G5 commuter school.
Lest anyone think that’s impossible, look no further than USF, which at least has the benefit of Florida recruiting. They were a top five team in the old Big East and then the gravy train stopped, the Big East collapsed and they got left in the dust.
Coincidentally, Utah’s current AD was there when it all happened at USF.
