No.

Another P4 head coach job opens. Old foe Kyle Whittingham will retire after the Las Vegas Bowl.

Best of luck, Nebraska ☹️.

    DC Morgan Scalley has long been considered a coach-in-waiting, I guess I don't get the Nebraska joke?

    Congrats KW and enjoy that Utah powder.

    No.

    Actually, what I read elsewhere was that he was leaving Utah, but could still be interested in a coaching position. Michigan?

    The plot thickens? I always assumed he was a Utah lifer, but Michigan would be lucky to have him IMHO.

    No.

    Coach Whitt is a shining star in the disheveled universe of head coaches.

    He led with hard work, integrity and continual improvement. I will miss him heading Utah football.

    Per Whittingham’s latest contract extension, he will serve as a “special assistant to the athletics director” following retirement for two years at a salary of $3.45 million per year.

    Nebraska plays Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl, Whit's final game with Allegiant Stadium packed with Utah fans making a short drive south to Vegas.

    Dylan Raiola is out with a broken leg, Nebraska's backup QB gets the start.

    No.

    Of all the teams from ye olde Pac12, the one I miss playing the most is Utah.

    I enjoyed and respected the teams that Coach Whittingham always brought to the field. They were never an easy out, and always played their backsides off until the final whistle.

    Never an easy team to play, but certainly more fun when we won 😁

    Much respect sent, I'm wishing Coach Whittingham the best in whatever his future endeavors are.
