Months after Kyle Whittingham was hired by Michigan as the school’s next head coach, new documents have come to light revealing the details of Whittingham’s bitter split with Utah.
For one thing, the 66-year-old Whittingham had actually wanted to stay, according to documents recently obtained by The Athletic. Whittingham’s agent, Bruce Tollner, emailed Utah director of football operations Jeff Rudy on Dec. 2 with a message relaying the then-longtime Utes coach’s intention to remain with the program.
