The Michigan Wolverines are reportedly considering Kyle Whittingham as their next head coach, a position he vacated after 21 seasons leading the Utah Utes. Whittingham, 66, stepped down from his role earlier this month, citing a desire to re-evaluate his future in football. According to sources, he is now the top candidate for the Michigan job following the firing and arrest of Sherrone Moore. As of 2025, Whittingham's estimated net worth is $34 million, largely earned from his multi-million-dollar salary as Utah's head coach. In 2022, he signed a significant contract extension, which will keep him under contract until 2027. Currently, he earns $6.9 million annually, including bonuses, although he was expected to earn $8 million had he not retired. Whittingham's future in coaching remains uncertain. While he initially stepped down as Utah's coach, he left open the possibility of returning to the sport. “I'm a free agent, I'm in the transfer portal,” he said. “I'm at peace, and I'm sure the timing is right for me to take a step back and re-evaluate things.” Michigan's search for a new head coach has gained momentum with Whittingham emerging as the lead candidate. As the university weighs its options, Whittingham's past success and current net worth make him an attractive choice for the job.
