Utah Sues Whittingham Over Michigan Move | Michigan Wolverines Football News

The University of Utah is suing Freddie Whittingham, Michigan’s new tight ends coach, for allegedly breaching his 14-year contract by leaving without proper notice, failing to pay $750K in liquidated damages, and secretly recruiting Utah players to Michigan—all while still employed. The lawsuit, seeking over $1M plus punitive damages, adds fire to the already heated rift between Utah and the Whittingham family, as Freddie reportedly packed his belongings the same night he was still officially on the payroll and later appeared at a Michigan basketball game with his brother, Kyle. Though Freddie’s $1.25M Michigan deal stands, the legal storm shows no signs of calming before the 2024 season kicks off.
