This would have been a great hire no matter when they made it. Given the timing, it's outstanding.

It will be cool to see how a great operator like Whittingham is able to do with those resources. I assume Harbaugh levels without the circus.

Gotta suck for Utah fans. I’m sure they assumed he was just retiring. A great hire for Michigan but also probably a short one. Willingham is 66.

Agree. Although, I could see him coaching for 9-10 years.

A Morman kid through and through who has never coached the last 40 years outside the state of Utah or southern Idaho, Morman strongholds .... is going to up and go across the country to clean up Michigan in extremely liberal Ann Arbor?

Hmm ...
