Overview

  • Kyle Whittingham confirmed he will lead Utah into his 21st season after considering retirement following the Utes’ disappointing 5-7 record in 2024.
  • Utah’s offense stalled last season after injuries to quarterbacks Cameron Rising and Isaac Wilson and the midseason departure of offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig.
  • Whittingham hired Jason Beck as offensive coordinator and secured transfer quarterback Devon Dampier to jump-start the Utes’ offense.
  • He said he will retire only when he no longer feels excited to come to work.
  • ESPN’s Football Power Index projects a 6.4% win probability for the Utes in 2025, highlighting the uphill challenge ahead.
