I agree on the DC job, but I wonder if a team would jump at him without any experience coaching at least a position in the NFL first. I could see some teams having interest in him as a LB or DL coach."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."
"They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."

I think that is correct, at least in Whit's mind.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View PostSo SC>Utah>Tennessee.... I think as a fan I can live with that.
I am surprised he didn't take the money and go. I would not have blamed him one bit if he had. 15 mil is a big number to decline.
It definitely should be a feather in Utah's cap that Whit wanted to stay at Utah instead of going to Tennessee...and for less money. Tenn is one of the most high profile gigs in the country.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Nice thing to happen a few weeks before signing day, that's for sure!Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostI think that is correct, at least in Whit's mind.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Unles he gets pulled away to bigger pastures, Anderson is very likely Utah's next coach whenever that may be. It is good that the coach in waiting is actually getting experience as a head coach in D-1.Originally posted by WashingtonCoug View PostI don't think Utah would have suffered too much. They would have just hired Anderson away from USU. Anderson is a great coach and probably a better recruiter.

I am pretty shocked he turned it down. Even more revelatory is the state of Vols football. Kiffin bolts at the drop of a hat. Now their 3rd choice at best turns down big money to remain at a non-AQ school?
That's pretty sad.

I never believed that Whittingham was a lifer at Utah or would turn down a legit BcS opportunity. I guess I was wrong.Originally posted by cougjunkie View PostHe turned down 3-4 million per year.
His wife tweeted about 3 hours ago "Vol Nation.......hmmmmmmmm."
Then tweeted about 30 minutes ago: "Money isnt everything"
Lya Wodraska is reporting he was officially offered the job and turned it down.As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

What do you think will happen first? Whit takes another job (college or NFL)? Or Bronco hangs 'em up (per his statements about not wanting to coach long)?Originally posted by Surfah View PostHe's still no lifer."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.

Was Whittingham swayed at all in his decision by Urban? I'm sure he called him, right?
I can see why Kyle was interested in SC, of course. But this news brings up the question, if he turned down Tenn, which college jobs would he leave Utah to take? One of the California PAC-10 schools? Is that it?
