Seems like things are progressing toward Kyle Whittingham joining Michigan to replace the fired Sherrone Moore. Early on Friday morning, the report was that the Utah coach leaving the program was the choice if Wolverines officials approved it.
By about midday? There were reports that “Michigan officials are expecting to complete negotiations” with Whittingham. But then there’s the fact that the Wolverines are playing in the Citrus Bowl on New Year’s Eve. If this all goes through, will he coach the team or will Biff Poggi? Or would Whittingham have one last run with Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl?
The answer: He’d join Michigan for the game, per Ross Dellenger. That makes sense, and “joining” doesn’t mean “coaching.”
Michigan officials are expecting to complete negotiations later today in the hiring of former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, sources tell @YahooSports.
There is an expectation that Whittingham will join the Michigan team in Orlando for its bowl game.
