Michigan have reached an agreement with Kyle Whittingham to become the school’s next head football coach, according to a report by ESPN, turning to one of the most experienced figures in the sport to steady a program throttled by scandal. Whittingham, 66, has agreed to a five-year deal that is expected to be formally announced later on Friday, ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel reported. The move comes weeks after Whittingham stepped down from his long-held position at Utah, where he spent 21 seasons as head coach and became the most successful figure in the program’s history.
