Scalley has been on Whittingham's staff since 2007.
There is no current timetable for Whittingham's retirement, but once he walks away from his position as head coach, a role he's held at Utah since 2005, Scalley will be his replacement. Once Scalley is elevated, he is set to make at least $5 million per season, according to his new contract with the school.
The 44-year-old Scalley has been part of Whittingham's staff at Utah since 2007, when he began his coaching career as a graduate assistant. He's been Utah's defensive coordinator since 2016, and has overseen a defense that has consistently been one of the top units in the sport. Scalley's transition into the head coaching role, whenever the time comes, will allow continuity within the way the program operates. Utah has been a pillar of consistency in college football since Whittingham took over for Urban Meyer, reaching multiple New Year's Six bowl games in the process.Mike McDaniel is a writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked since January 2022.
