      This whole situation seems like a big game of chicken between Hill and Whittingham. You can't really up the ante much more than feed local media that you are talking to your employer's rival about taking a job there.

        Gotta say it would take me a few years to get used to seeing KWhitt on the BYU sideline.

          Worst idea ever. Especially since there is no love lost between Kyle and Bronco. Can you imagine the fractures that would be created by keeping the former head coach on staff ... especially one as successful and purportedly loved by his players as Bronco is?

          I cannot see any way Kyle would come to BYU unless Bronco left voluntarily. BYU will not fire him. If Bronco did decide to retire, this would be a pretty shitty way to go out. What I could see happening is Bronco informing Holmoe that he doesn't intend on renewing his contract and giving permission to look for a replacement and Kyle resigning from Utah because of Hill and coming to BYU when Bronco's current contract is up. I still wouldn't like it, but it makes much more sense than Kyle coming this year and Bronco taking a demotion or getting fired. Bronco has also said (or heavily implied) multiple times that he wouldn't quit before his contract is up, so I don't see him leaving voluntarily this year. He has made it clear that he felt like BYU betrayed Crowton by firing him while he still had a year left on his contract. I think that is a little silly, but he seems to think fulfilling the terms of a contract is a matter of principle or something.

                Lane Kiffin at Utah would be a great hire.
                KW at BYU would be incredible.

                  No thanks. We already have a good defensive coach that loves to ice kickers and can't manage a staff.

                    I don't see any realistic way Kyle returns to BYU and I don't want him anyway. But it has been fun to troll my Ute BIL with all these rumors at our family gathering tonight.

                      Bruce Feldman makes it sound like it is Hill's idea for KWhitt to leave:

                      Hearing situation between Whittingham & #Utah AD is awful. Staffers wouldn't be surprised if KW gets forced out & are hoping prez steps in.

                        Wow, Gary's options elsewhere would be nill after a move like that. Utah would be his last head coaching job.

                          Speaking of Gary, maybe we should be throwing crowton's name back in the mix. Utah's got an OC opening, right?

                            I hope this lingers for weeks. My Ute fan friends are all a twitter.

                              None of this should be a surprise. When you go 5-4 in the pac 12 everyone is going to get job offers.

                                Whit, Kiffin, GAndersen, The Good Doctor Hill, rumors flying around. What a soap opera.

                                So it's a fight between The Good Doctor and Whit for the soul of uofutah athletics. Joke's on them, there is no soul there to fight over.

                                BYU should just stay out of this and not get played like it was last time around.

                                Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
