UTAH COACH DROPS A SHOCKING MESSAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO TEAM/FANS……….
SALT LAKE CITY- Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham is in for a big pay raise (and a new contract) after the Rose Bowl success of his 2021 football team. The new contract still goes through 2027, but increases his pay to $6 million in the 2022 season and up to $8 million to the end of the original contract. The pay increase includes money not only from Whittingham’s raise from Utah ($6.5 million), but Under Armour and Learfield as well ($1.5 million). Interestingly enough Utah’s contract with Under Armour is up at the same time as Whittingham’s contract.
An interesting aside to Whittingham’s new contract? It’s 22 pages long- a number that has become a calling card of the program in honor of Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe who tragically passed away nine months apart during last year’s campaign.
