- Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley was named head coach-in-waiting in 2024 and is widely expected to be promoted to succeed him.
- Whittingham exits with a 177-88 record, three conference titles, two Rose Bowl appearances, and a 2008 undefeated season capped by a Sugar Bowl win over Alabama.
- Multiple outlets report he will move into a two-year special-assistant role to the athletic department at roughly $3.45 million per year.
- The Athletic reports he is not necessarily retiring and could consider other coaching opportunities, as Utah rebounds to 10-2 this season after a 5-7 campaign in 2024.
