Kyle Whittingham will be the next head coach of the Michigan Wolverines football team, taking over for Sherrone Moore who was fired earlier this month.

Hailing from Cartersville, Georgia, Brady Marchese flipped from the in-state Bulldogs to Michigan football the day after signing day. It was a huge coup for the Wolverines. However, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, the four-star wide receiver is asking for a release from his NLI.

Rumors are heating up that former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham is a heavy favorite to be the next Michigan coach. Whittingham is surging in the latest betting odds with an 90% chance to be named the new Michigan coach, per Kalshi. Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Washington's Jedd Fisch and DeBoer are all a distant second at 2%.

The Central Michigan Chippewas are playing the Northwestern Wildcats in the 2025 GameAbove Sports Bowl in Detroit.

However, the search for Moore’s replacement continues, and on Friday, a new report revealed the latest favorite for the Michigan job. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, “Outgoing Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham has emerged as the top target for the Michigan head coaching job.”
