Utah has its successor to Kyle Whittingham in place. Defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley has been named the Utes' head coach in waiting, the school announced Monday, and will officially take over when Whittingham opts to step down from his post. Whittingham, 64, didn't share when he plans to stop coaching in the release that announced Monday's news, but he praised Scalley in a statement.
He was named a second-team All-American and the Mountain West co-Defensive Player of the Year when Utah went undefeated during his senior season in 2004. After a year away, Scalley rejoined the program in 2006 as an administrative assistant. He joined the coaching staff a year later as a graduate assistant. He became their safeties coach in 2008, adding recruiting coordinator and special teams duties along the way. Scalley officially became Utah's defensive coordinator in 2016.
