1. Utah’s Kyle Whittingham. The Utes have adjusted to the Pac-12 in a fashion similar to that of Arizona’s Larry Smith from 1980-86. They can play (and beat) anybody. But unlike Smith in an era when multiyear contracts weren’t common and coaches job-hopped to make more money, Whittingham is a Utah homeboy making in excess of $3 million a year. He doesn’t need to leave to make a name for himself.
