Oh man, coach in waiting is a weird dynamic.

Utah @UCF is last regular season game of the year. I'm trying to learn why Utah is considered the top team to win the conference.

Cam Rising’s return gives Utes high hopes in 2024, but who will be his backup?

A true freshman, a patient sophomore and a former five-star transfer are all in the running to be Utes’ QB2

Their QB.

You think their QB will make it to Black Friday healthy? If not, who's their QB then.

Utah Utes​

While there were plenty of questions about how the Utes will fit into their new conference, the biggest buzz might have been when head coach Kyle Whittingham appeared to make a definitive statement about his future.

“We’re going to open here in 2027 against the Miami Hurricanes,” Whittingham said on Tuesday when asked about playing in Las Vegas. “I probably won’t be sitting here, but somebody will be, and that’s going to be a great opportunity again to come to Vegas and play a game.”

It may not have been a retirement announcement, but it did indicate that Whittingham sees himself nearing the end of his tenure at Utah.

Bottom Line, he gets paid a ton of money!

How does Kyle Whittingham’s contract stack up in the Big 12?​

Has any announced successor-in-waiting ever actually gotten the job?

Jimbo Fisher at FSU after Bobby Bowden. That's the only one I can think of.
