This. Whitt has had a lot of bad luck this year. To lose half of your projected starting offense to injuries...rough. NOW, these last two games are games Utah can win. And with how they have played against UCLA, OSU, USC, Stanford and to some extent Oregon, he has done an ok job. BUT, here is the real test. If he hasn't lost the team through all the adversity this year, and they go out and beat WSU and Colorado, then he deserves to stay.
BUT, if Wilson isn't hurt, but has quit the team, if they go out and lose to WSU...then Whitt has lost the team. He is a GREAT coach, and whoever hires him (if it is as a HC in a non-BCS) will be winning 10+ games a year in no time or if he becomes a DC, then they will have the top defense in the country. BUT, if he has lost the team, there isn't much you can do with him here. It sucks, but it is what it is.
