...there's no guarantee they'd beat BYU next year or the following year if they lose tomorrow. He's also old school and hates NIL. I think he's done at the end of the season.

I have it on good authority this was supposed to be Whitt’s last season

I don't think it needs to be a dominant win, a win will do. Any W puts Utah at

4-5 and officially eliminated from B12 championship (not that it was happening)

Hopefully we don't get a 'Last Miracle for Kyle' thing happen!

Not for byu but for Utah he is very beloved.

It's not Kyle's last game though.

More than he hates NIL — is dealing w the Brave New World where BYU isn't fighting him w both arms tied behind its back

SinkingQuffa

Nov 8, 1:41pm

I have a hard time believing that he will go out on such a low point

ballen

Nov 8, 10:08am

But why would he come back with a huge rebuild in front of him?

russkiejedi

Nov 8, 1:16pm

He's making $4+MM yr. He's got a cush job. He's not going anywhere.

I also heard Utah would go hard after Hill but that’s not gonna happen.

sunjieming

Nov 8, 10:12am

I could Scaley being HC and making a big offer to Hill to be his DC

mudpupper

Nov 8, 10:27am

Apparently they’re good friends.

sunjieming

Nov 8, 10:30am

Won't he still make a decent paycheck even after he retires?

Huge Manatee

Nov 8, 10:12am

$1mil/yr consulting for 5 years after he leaves in the contract.

Art Director

Nov 8, 10:15am

It’s like $1mm a year to “advise”. Morgan will love it

DiamondMo

Nov 8, 10:16am

Hopefully he keeps advising (i.e., meddling) in their offense. Good track record

Narfin'Coug

Nov 8, 2:59pm

He’s already made a lot of money and not getting any younger. I think he’s done.

Yucatan

Nov 8, 10:14am

He gets a million a year for like five more after retiring then mid six figures til he dies. He’s gone

byuTX

Nov 8, 10:15am

He makes over $6.5m with all the add ones..

rad dawg

Nov 8, 10:19am

If Whit ends the year on a 8 game losing streak- the job is not Cush!

U2UTE

Nov 8, 10:34am

An 8 game losing streak could force the retirement regardless of if he wants it

sunjieming

Nov 8, 10:59am

A "cush job". LOL.

He does have the undefeated 2008 year. That's a pretty big feather in his cap.

That 2008 season should have ended with a loss to TCU. Unfortunately their sure fire kicker couldn't hit the

He's >>>> average and has had a very successful career. What are you on about?

Plato

Nov 8, 10:34am

Yes. The unspoken agreement was that Whitt and Ludwig would retire

ebv

Nov 8, 10:27am

I heard this as well. I didn't realize Ludwig was only 60 i thought he was

Cougarite

Nov 8, 2:05pm

He makes close to 7 mill a year and doesn’t have anything to do if he retires…..

Phreddy

Nov 8, 10:35am

Hear me now, believe me later: Whitt will give a devotional at BYU before we die

RoboKayne

Nov 8, 10:40am

A co-worker said the other day that Whitt was going to be a mission president

BYU Fan

Nov 8, 10:54am

I have a friend who saw him at the temple before a rivalry game several years

sunjieming

Nov 8, 10:58am

I think a lot is possible. His job is to beat BYU at football. When he sheds

RoboKayne

Nov 8, 11:00am

He will refuse to say the name of the mission directly south of his

ballen

Nov 8, 12:05pm

He'll be called to be the MTC president in Provo

Schultz is back

Nov 8, 2:09pm

And he will call BYU "the team out West," haha.

RoboKayne

Never booed someone during a fireside before. Will be fun.

I attended a fireside that Urban Meyer spoke at. Missed opportunity on my part

MoodyBlueCoug

He's not getting support in his last season, but is being speedily dragged down

ryebrye

Nov 8, 10:51am

utah cannot out bid BYU for Jay Hill!!

coot20

Nov 8, 11:15am

As an OC - agreed. If Utah wanted him as Head Coach. BYU is not matching that

U2UTE

Nov 8, 11:32am

They already promised to make Scalley the HC

SWKTNative

Nov 8, 11:48am

After Scalley gets canned. Hill will be target #1.

The Y's Insider

Nov 8, 11:56am

Probably, but they have to give Scalley at least a few years assuming he doesn't

SWKTNative

Nov 8, 11:58am

Yeah, our only hope there is that after his heart attack he decides that he’s

ballen

Nov 8, 12:06pm

I wouldn't mind seeing him go out with a whimper

OKchief

Nov 8, 11:28am

I don't know. It seems to be working for Biden and Harris.

TrueBlue67

Nov 8, 11:32am

I can't believe he expects next year's team to be a playoff contender. Better, yes. But no Cam, no AA tight end.

zonacougar

Nov 8, 11:42am

New OC installing a new offense.

SWKTNative

Nov 8, 11:47am

Ludwig and Whit tapped Bajakian to be the successor.

ebv

Nov 8, 12:05pm

Like officially? Not just interim?

SWKTNative

Nov 8, 12:32pm

I think the hope was that this year they'd be in the playoffs.

dut99002

Nov 8, 12:14pm

That’s exactly what I heard. He’d consider coming back if THIS year they made

No way. He would announce before if he was firmly decided

Bobmarleyjr

That’s what he’s supposedly told friends and family 🤷‍♂️

Just win baby just win. A loss is what we don’t need.
