13. Kyle Whittingham: Utah

Whittingham first jumped onto the scene in 2008 — when the Utes blasted Alabama in the Sugar Bowl by a score of 31-17. Not only did the victory put Utah on the map, but it signified Whittingham’s status as an excellent coach. Since taking over for Urban Meyer in 2005, Whittingham — a former BYU linebacker — has accrued a 104-50 overall record. This has included a 10-1 record in bowl games. There were some questions as to how the program would fare in the Pac-12. Since joining the conference, Utah’s had a respectable 60-42 conference record. It also won the Pac-12 South Division title in 2015. With the lack of a true recruiting base to pull from, Whittingham truly is one of the best in terms of developing talent.
