Utah’s Morgan Scalley Defends Kyle Whittingham After Michigan Move

He frames the change as business, not betrayal.

Overview

  • Utah head coach Morgan Scalley, in a new On3 interview published Sunday, said there is no bad blood over Kyle Whittingham leaving for Michigan.
  • Scalley said he had no role in pushing Whittingham out and credited his former boss for shaping his career.
  • Explaining Michigan’s reach into Utah, Scalley said Whittingham leaned on familiar ties by hiring Utes offensive line coach Jim Harding.
  • He also noted Michigan took five Utah players in the transfer portal in January, including edge rusher John Henry Daley.
  • Scalley called the transition “super chaotic” for bowl prep and roster management, praised players for winning the bowl game, and pointed to his family’s $2 million pledge as a show of commitment.
