Urban Meyer explained that Kyle Whittingham, his successor as head coach at Utah, has proven to be the best coach in the sport following the Utes' win at USC.
Whittingham, who has been at the helm in Utah since Meyer left following the 2004 season, continued some of the success the team had when he was the defensive coordinator under Meyer, getting the Utes to double-digit wins in their last three seasons in the Mountain West. It took some time for Whittingham's program to adjust when it joined the Pac-12 in 2001, but Utah has won at least nine games in six of the last 11 full seasons.
"Kyle's comment about Caleb Williams is a Heisman, which he is. Caleb Williams is an incredible player. ‘They have their Heisman, we have a pig farmer from Utah.' I wish we were doing that game because I wanted to go watch 'em and shake his hand, that quarterback, because you know how I love toughness. Go back and watch that last drive. He ran over the safety, but the last one he runs 30 yards on a play that's dead and they kick a field goal and beat USC.
