New Rumor-hearing Whittingham is in the mix

[shaschboy]

Just heard that Utah's coach has expressed interest and is or has been in contact with Byrne.

Anybody got any follow up? This is as fresh as Shipley's Donuts on Saturday morning.</p>

I'd take him or Petersen in a coin flip as my first choice.

 

[RobbieRandolph]

Are you 17ing serious?

 

[phillydawg]

Love his attitude. See- <font color="#810081">Its called football *******</font>

We are talking about the HC of Utah Kyle Whittingham, and not Tyrone Willingham the former HC at UW.

 

[615dawg]

3-0 in bowl games, headed to a fourth ...

I like his attitude as well. We'd go back to being hated by the rest of the SEC.

Yeah really, I would hate to have a coach with his success

 

[AtlDawg.sixpack]

onside kick up by 35 is ok in my book.

 

[shaschboy]

right now. Just curious if anyone else has heard.

My source tells me that he's contacted Byrne directly, not thru an agent, at this point. That is all I know.

If he had any interest in coaching in the SEC and almost tripling his pay he would be dumb not to at least look at us.

Has been in the mix since Sunday.

MWC>WAC. Not saying Whittingham is better than Petersen, but 12-0 is more impressive at Utah than at Boise.

and he is Mormon. She was very cordial, her name is Wiki Pedia.

Whittingham to State would be interesting. Definitely no connection to the region. His OC is one of his good friends who also has apparently never left the NW. For the record, Whittingham's specialty is defense. There is no questioning what he had done since Urban left though. He was left with a pretty tumultuous situtation - Alex Smith leaving, etc.

 

[CdawgNHouston]

I have a hard time believing he'd leave his mormon region unless the offer is super sweet.

who posted here the other day. He offered to share his wife.

Huge fan of Big Love.

 

[Frances Drebin]

...and this guy is suddenly my favorite.

 

[thequietone]

I did not offer to share her...I asked would you TAKE her....big difference.

 

[thequietone]

I am close friends with a guy who is best friends with the U of U linebackers coach...I am trying to get some first hand info here. Don't worry about the Mormon thing....there are a lot more Mormons outside Utah than you know. Just look at Garty Crowton....

[rowdydog]

I live in Utah and there isn't really any buzz here about Whittingham leaving...yet. I do know that he makes around 700k though so if he wants more $krilla it shouldn't be hard.

I'll stir the pot and see whats cookin.

 

[Badon]

I could get behind a coach like that.

 

[Stormrider81]

That's the exact opposite philosophy of Croom, which is good.

 

[RobertF50]

It's long but shows a lot more of what his team is like.
