Utah’s Kyle Whittingham, the winningest coach in program history and one of the longest-tenured coaches in the FBS, will step down following the Utes’ appearance in the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 31, the school announced Friday.
Whittingham, who has been with the program since 1994, was named head coach in December 2004 and amassed 177 wins, which ranks third among active FBS coaches.
