From what I was told last saturday night/sunday morning Kyle Whinnigham at Utah was the #1 choice to replace Urban and had already been contacted by the AD.

The problem is, he can't be a coach for a big time program and not be 100 percent dedicated to it (16 hour days, seven days week, etc.). If the team loses, everything will fall on him as not being involved enough which will lead to more stress, the thing he is trying to cut back on. Urban has to be on board all the way or step aside, it's pretty simple.
