Whittingham signed a 4 year deal at Utah today

So that can put down the rumors that he is coming to BYU.

Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham has agreed to a 4-year contract and will earn $2.6 million in 2015 with an automatic $100K each year

automatic $100k raise each year? I'll assume, that's what that means.

Kyle was able to take advantage of Hill and his mess. He has his work cut out trying to get a coaching staff and finish recruiting.

Wasn't one of the rumored issues that Utah wasn't paying Whitt's assistants enough money? So he's the one who gets the raise? I guess by paying Whitt more that automatically assumes they'll pay the assistants more as well?



And I guess Whitt getting a raise is more important than finding new coordinators for BOTH sides of the ball.

Wasn't longevity of contracts for assistants more of an issue? Or maybe combined length and amount. But wasn't the OC and DC making about $500k?

How much of a raise was it?

Possibly, but it also seems that Kyle getting a raise was more important to Kyle and Dr. Hill than finding two new coordinators.

No doubt. Hill had to avert a total crisis/meltdown. Nice timing by Whitt. He played Hill big time.

KW is a douche. Don't think I could continue watching BYU football if he were the Cougars' coach. So this is a relief. Also, utes might have landed a truly good coach if KW had left. So this is actually good all around, except for one thing: Kyle gets rewarded for being a douche.

I agree with this so much, I almost can't tell if I wrote it or you did.

My response to all of this is "Meh."
