Just about anything may happen, but that seems highly unlikely to me.
Whittingham is 109-56 at Utah.
He is 10-1 in bowl games over 13 years.
He took them from a nice Group of 5 team to a usually competitive Power 5 team.
Going into the year it was widely acknowledged by people paying attention that Utah would have a tough time with tons of roster turnover (and I think 4 of 5 OL).
I haven't heard particularly strong rumblings out of Salt Lake City (but haven't been looking for them either).
A couple of years ago there were rumours that Whittingham might be ripe for taking another job as he was not getting along with the AD. Don't know if that has healed or not. If not, Whittingham could be gone on his own volition I suppose.
And I guess if not, the AD could be looking for an opportunity to dump Whittingham, but that would seem like a good way to lose your own job if the new guy doesn't come in as a star right away.
