I would say there is no way Whitt is even considering it.
He has been pretty clear that he wants to stay at Utah unless an NFL job is offered.
Plus, Utah is in a prime position to have a special season next year. If Whitt is going to leave, his value will be at an all time high after next year.
This ASU BS is probably a complete fabrication by ASU in an attempt to get their real target to accept less money than he asked for.
They've already been spurned twice that we know of, and who knows how many times privately.
This keeps their fans and boosters from going postal. At the same time, any coach ASU is looking at suddenly "knows" ASU is not as desperate as it first appeared.
I'd bet money that Whitt doesn't go. ASU is no longer a bigger program than Utah. They aren't big enough to steal Utah's head coach. They can make Norm Chow their head coach if they want though, lol.
