Michigan football could be hiring one of the elite head coaches in college football, soon, according to new reporting from ESPN's Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel.
That head coach would be Kyle Whittingham, who announced recently that he was stepping down as head coach of the Utah Utes.
Whittingham has won 66.8 percent of his games with Utah, which would be a high enough winning percentage to get him into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Whittingham has won multiple conference championships, too. The Utes went 13-0 in 2008, beating Alabama in the Sugar Bowl to finish second in the AP Poll.
