Looks like an 'old friend' is in line to be Michigan's next coach.

Whit is 63 going on 40, if that, and his style of play on both sides of the ball fits Michigan. And is a pain to compete against.

My apologies to Gat and others for questioning Whit's desire to continue coaching. Not a lot of ski slopes near Ann Arbor, but he won't be the only guy with a motorcycle.

There could be a Whit sighting in Autzen in 2026 when Whit brings the Wolverines for a visit.

Sources: U-M targeting Utes legend Whittingham

Utah coach Kyle Whittingham has emerged as the focus of Michigan's coaching search, sources told ESPN.

If Whit is Michigan's Man, it took Penn State and Michigan time to find their guys, but both are odds-on to be excellent hires and a pain in OBD's tail feathers. 🤬

Whit is 4-8 vs. Oregon. Not bad considering the disparity in resources.

Matt Campbell is 1-0 with a 34-17 Fiesta Bowl win over Mario.

This gal made some hare-brained comments about Oregon and the B1G this season, but she usually doesn’t report breaking news unless it’s true.

She's a Michigan grad who covered Michigan sports when in school and has deep ties to the school.

Josh Pate seems to confirm it.

Gotta admit I'm pretty surprised, I figured he'd be skiing and riding his Harley this year. They got a good one, although it seems that he may be another placeholder at his age.

After 63 years of life out west (born in San Luis Obispo, 40 year coaching career in either Utah or Idaho), he might find it a challenge to navigate the dense political sports culture and its expectations that saturates Ann Arbor.

If he has the patience and willingness to accommodate their absurd and unrealistic pipe dreams, they’ll have themselves a winner.
