SALT LAKE CITY – After three consecutive losses on top of season-long struggles, University of Utah football’s head coach Kyle Whittingham announced that Mike Bajakian will be the interim offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach moving forward.
He also announced that Andy Ludwig has stepped down from his role as offensive coordinator.
On Monday, Whittingham announced that “Mike Bajakian will be the interim offensive coordinator through the rest of the season,” he stated. “After the season, we’ll evaluate where we are and press forward beyond that depending on what the circumstances are. He’s a very dynamic personality. He’s got a lot of energy and he’s upbeat. I think the players will respond; that’s the hope.”
