I’ve lived in Utah County for the majority of my life. Until last year, my life in the State of Utah revolved around BYU in some form or fashion — as a student-athlete, athletic administrator, and a football coach.
10 years ago, I left Provo to become a master of my craft with the intent of someday returning home. Kyle Whittingham made that happen! Salt Lake City is home now and I’m proud to represent the masses in my current capacity.
Yet, looking at this picture makes me feel some-type-a-way because just a quick 10 years ago my perspective differed DRASTICALLY from the reality I now know wholeheartedly. For years I’ve had an adversarial relationship with Coach Whitt and his former staffs because we competed fiercely against each other in games and recruiting. After spending his last year at the University of Utah together, here’s what I absolutely know about him:
- He’s a master football coach. Trust me on this: he’ll forget more football than most of us will ever learn or know. I had no clue he was such a special teams guru. That did trip me out a bit this year.
- He’s a bigtime Family Man. I’m unsure where his next path will lead, but if he does indeed retire, I’m happy for Mrs Jaime and his family—especially his grandkids who totally adore their Grandpa.
- He’s a man of God. During the season, our program sets aside time for chapel and institute. Coach Whitt never missed. I’d hear his comments and feel the passion he brought with them. I know his relationship with God is truly personal to him.
- He’s an awesome human being. He’s cool to hang out with, is witty as hell, and has a cool sense of humor.
Last one:
- He will beat your ass in 60s/70s/early 80s Classic Rock Trivia. Album, song title, what’s on the album cover, where the band originates, who the lead singer is, who the lead singer’s replacement was, who the band members are, all that and more — he’s a freckin’ STUD. I was in awe as I had the Aux and tried to stump him while we were out recruiting and he nailed all the songs and provided detailed information on the things I said. Coach Simon is my witness.
In gist: In my experience, perception is NOT reality in the case of Kyle Whittingham. And, because he can give two shits about what you think of him, that flawed perception continues to live in the minds of many.
I can only speak for myself in saying that Kyle Whittingham is a true LIVING LEGEND and I’m elated and honored to have spent his last year as the HC of the University of Utah as his RBs coach. Thanks Coach Whittingham for bringing my family and me back to the 801 and for the experience of sharing this 2025 season with you. My family and I are indebted forever.
Alofa tele mo oe, Coach. Let’s finish this off right with number 11 in Vegas.

God ordained that men and women should marry and give birth to children, thereby creating, in partnership with God, the physical bodies that are key to the test of mortality and essential to eternal glory with Him.
Our Father in Heaven said, “and inasmuch as ye were born into the world by water, and blood, and the spirit, which I have made, and so became of dust a living soul, even so ye must be born again into the kingdom of heaven, of water, and of the Spirit, and be cleansed by blood, even the blood of mine Only Begotten; that ye might be sanctified from all sin, and enjoy the words of eternal life in this world, and eternal life in the world to come, even immortal glory” (Moses 6:59).
Knowing why we left the presence of our Heavenly Father and what it takes to return to and be exalted with Him, it becomes very clear that nothing relative to our time on earth can be more important than the part we play in physical birth and spiritual rebirth, the two prerequisites of eternal life.
