Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham to Decide Retirement After Disappointing Season

The 65-year-old coach will weigh what is best for the program following Utah's first losing season in a decade.

  • Kyle Whittingham, Utah's head coach since 2004, is considering retirement after his 20th season with the program.
  • Utah has struggled in its first season in the Big 12, losing seven straight games and falling to a 4-7 record overall.
  • Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley has been named the coach-in-waiting, ensuring continuity whenever Whittingham steps down.
  • Star quarterback Cameron Rising, sidelined by a season-ending injury, is deciding whether to pursue an eighth year of eligibility or move on to the NFL or transfer portal.
  • Freshman Isaac Wilson, also injured, will miss Utah's season finale, with Luke Bottari set to start in his place against UCF.
