Late December 2014 will go down as one of the most tumultuous times for Utah football fans in recent memory. Not because something that occurred on the field. In fact, Utah was coming off a pretty successful season, and a victory in the Las Vegas Bowl. Twitter speculation had Utah Football Coach Kyle Whittingham fed up with Utah Athletic Director Dr. Chris Hill and leaving the program. It had some thinking, does Chris Hill know what he is doing?
When all the dust settled, it turns out this was not the case. One could sense that there may have been some disagreement over how assistant coaches salaries were structured, and it was made worse by the loss of defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake and defensive line coach Ilaisa Tuiaki to Oregon State.
