Despite taking his future at Utah 'day to day,' Kyle Whittingham's retirement might be coming sooner rather than later.
The head coach dropped another suggestion that his time as Utah’s football coach could be coming to an end in the near future.conference transition since joining the Utes ’ coaching staff in 1994 and later taking the head coaching job in 2004. He started in the WAC, joined the Mountain West, was on the forefront of the implosion of the Pac-12 and, now, is one of the most tenured and winningest coaches in the new Big 12 .
“As to when that happens? That is a great question,” Whittingham said of his impending retirement. “I’m just taking it day by day. I’m as excited and enthused about the season as I’ve ever been. A lot of that is the excitement of going into a new conference, the challenge and new opportunity, but it’s just going to be a day-by-day process. I’m not getting any younger, but at the same time I feel like I have a lot of energy right now.
Whittingham, who has become close with Scalley over nearly a decade coaching with him, gave a shining endorsement to his protege. Like the Utes’ current defensive coordinator, Whittingham once learned under long-time Utah coaching legend Ron McBride, who led the U. to 88 victories and six bowl games in 13 seasons.
