Who is the Utah Utes new GM, Joe D'Orazio? His background, connections, and why he’s a great fit to help lead the program in this new era. The team unpacks the crazy offseason, including key player retention despite major coaching changes and transfer portal drama, and highlights the challenges and successes behind the scenes. The conversation shifts to the hiring process and rationale behind new offensive coordinator Kevin McGivern, surprising some fans with his late entry into the mix. JT Wistrcill and Utah Football insider Sam LeSueur discuss Kyle Whittingham's move to Michigan, including insights into his new contract and what it means for both him and the Utah program going forward. They share their thoughts on how long Whittingham might stick it out at Michigan, the realistic expectations for both programs, and what the future holds for Utah football under new leadership. Plus, listeners get great reporting on NIL developments, the transfer portal, and what went on inside the wildest offseason in recent Utah football history. If you want to stay updated on University of Utah sports and get insider perspective, this episode is packed with analysis, context, and honest discussion about where the Utes are headed next.
