ORLANDO — As some Utah fans at FBC Mortgage Stadium chanted “Whittingham, Whittingham,” Ute head coach Kyle Whittingham walked off the field following his team’s 28-14 victory over UCF — the 167th of his career.
Will Friday night’s win be his last?
Following the conclusion of his team’s 5-7 season — just the third losing season in the 20-year Whittingham era — the longtime Utah coach was asked how he will approach his upcoming decision.
Will he hang up the whistle or return to lead Utah for a 21st season?
In the afterglow of Utah’s first win since September, Whittingham declined to comment.
“I don’t want to talk about that. That’s not about me. I don’t want to even bring that up. Let these guys enjoy this win. It’s all about our players tonight and just proud of ‘em, and I’d rather just leave it at that for tonight,” Whittingham said postgame.
