Video: Morgan Scalley Named Head Coach In Waiting For Utah Football

The future of Utah football became a little clearer Monday morning with defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley being named Kyle Whittingham’s successor which was first reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

The news isn’t exactly a surprise as it has been long speculated that Scalley felt like a natural choice to keep the program rolling on its amazing trajectory. Thamel’s report which came in a post on X was shortly followed up by a post from Utah football declaring Scalley the “coach in waiting” for the Utes.
