With speculation mounting that he might hang up his whistle after the season, Utah coach addressed the situation Monday with reporters

There have been reports and speculation in recent weeks that Utah coach Kyle Whittingham could retire at the end of the season, particularly if the Utes win the Pac-12 title.

During his weekly Monday morning news conference, he was asked for a reaction.

“Uh, no. I’ve heard a few things from people and I’m having as good a time right now as I ever had,” said Whittingham, who’s in his 17th season at the helm and recently became the winningest coach in program history. “So I’m not even contemplating that right now.”

Utah, winner of the Pac-12 South Division, is preparing for Friday’s Pac-12 championship game against North Division champion Oregon.
