Utes coach will try to become a two-time winner later this year
University of Utah Football head coach Kyle Whittingham has been named to the 2024 Dodd Trophy Preseason Watch List, as announced today. The Dodd Trophy, presented annually by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Peach Bowl Inc., honors the nation’s top college football coach.
Whittingham is one of 21 coaches on the preseason watch list and one of four representing the Big 12. Entering the 2024 season, he is tied as the second-longest tenured head coach at the same school in the NCAA FBS, marking his 20th year as head coach and 31st overall with the program. He holds a 162-79 overall record, making him Utah’s all-time wins leader. Among active FBS head coaches, he ranks 12th in wins and fourth among those at the same school.
Whittingham’s accomplishments have earned him multiple National Coach of the Year awards, including the AFCA Coach of the Year and the Bear Bryant Award in 2008, and the Dodd Trophy in 2019. His consistent success and long-term commitment to the Utah program underscore his reputation as one of college football’s elite coaches.
