Ranking college football’s 5 most underachieving head coaches in 2017

3. Utah’s Kyle Whittingham

Kyle Whittingham has been coaching football for over 30 years. He has had great success as the head coach for the Utah Utes.

He’s the successor of Urban Meyer’s Utah kingdom and also helped the current Ohio State coach build the Utes’ program. His first year coaching the Utes was in 1994 as the defensive line coach and he took over for Meyer when he got the job in Florida in 2005.

Whittingham is a proven winner and knows what it takes to make a program elite — he has been a part of it and has done it himself.

Whittingham’s knowledge of game could help a new young head coach success in Utah. Just like how Barry Alvarez is helping Wisconsin become an elite program from the top down to the head coach and all the way down to the players.
