If Whitt is really gone at Utah, he could go be a DC for a year or even take a year off and still have a few P5 jobs to choose from next year. I realize his roots run deep at the Y but why hitch your wagon to a program in conference limbo as well as the other issues you mentioned (honor code, etc). I would be beyond stunned if he ever ended up at BYU again. However, I would really enjoy all of the Y fans who have hated on him at every turn for the last 20+ years now worshipping at his feet.

And if you're listening Dr. Chris Hill: If you really let Whitt walk away, the only way you come out of this not looking like a boob is if Dan Mullens comes walking through that door.

I agree.

I see whit working as a DC somewhere. I don't see him going to BYU. Not until they're in a p5 conference at least. Then maybe. Ande let's be honest, he could probably get a job in the NFL too. Making a job at BYU even less attractive.
 
I guess I'm a Y fan and other than whit's decision making in the OC hires, I have no problem with him. He's a good guy who doesn't have SEC like issues, recruits good kids, plays tough defense, always has a top special team, and wins the right way.
Seriously, if he had just been normal with the offensive hiring, you're looking at one of the top coaches in the entire west. Defensive and special teams genius, good recruiter, solid guy... Terrible offensive decision maker.
 
odd that none of us byu fans have a problem with Whitt (even thriller).
 
lol @ zoobs doing the equivalent of...

"If Kate Upton wanted me, I guess I'd be ok with it. She's a little big for me, but her face is decent."

If Kyle Whittingham looked at byu for even a second with the shape they are in, Holmoe pees his pants before even being able to offer him a contract.

Bronco is an absolute non factor in the thought process if somehow Whitt is willing to slum it at byu.
 
Mullens would never come to Utah.
So if Whit leaves who might be willing to coach Utah?
Is there a young successful HC at a non P5 conference school that would jump at a PAC 12 HC job?

Unlikely yes. Never? Not so fast.


Pay wise I'm just guessing that with both schools being in P5 conferences, Utah could throw comprable money at him. I don't think either school ever pays a coach Alabama money so the playing field might be pretty level. Competition wise, as it sits right now, Mullen plays and recruits in the shadow of the likes of Bama and LSU, just to name a few. Maybe he likes his chances a bit better overall dealing with USC and UCLA? I've heard before that he holds his past time in Utah with very high regard as well. All of this doesn't mean a lot, but I doubt "never" is safe to say either.

Agreed.

The longer this goes, the more and more I feel like Whitt is back with an extension. If everything was as bad between Hill/Whitt as the rumor mill suggests, the axe would have already fallen. Plus, if you have Gordon Monson and Derik Stevensen claiming Whitt is a goner and BYU bound, you can pretty much bank on the opposite.
 
Something happened over the weekend. Whit and Hill met and it looks like there was some progress made. I think the longer things stall out the better it looks for Hill to keep Whit.

Monson didn't say he was BYU bound. He said that he could see the possibility of going to BYU would only be in another year or two. If anything, he was responding to Stevenson's outrageous claim.

Monson did speculate that the Whit era was over and that he would sit out this next year and find another coaching job next year.

As far as Stevensen goes. Who the hell is he? Seriously, who is he?
