Breaking news; Kyle Whittingham’s shocking confession of Utah DC eventual successor renaming…….
The University of Utah formally named defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley as the successor to longtime football coach Kyle Whittingham, the school announced Monday.
While no retirement date has been set for Whittingham, Scalley’s most recent contract calls for him to become the school’s next coach whenever Whittingham decides to step down.
The contract includes a starting salary for Scalley of at least $5 million per year if he’s elevated at the end of the 2024 season, per the contract. That number increases by $100,000 each subsequent year, topping out at $5.4 million after 
Scalley, who was a star player at the school, is entering his 17th season on the Utah staff.
“Obviously, this is a program that’s always meant the world to me,” Scalley told ESPN. “I played here, grew up going to games here. I love this program and where it’s headed, and I have a lot of respect for the coaches that have made it what is.”
There’s no definitive timeline set for Whittingham to step down. He turns 65 in November. He’s entering his 20th season as head coach and is the all-time winningest coach (162-79) in school history.
