Mark Whipple for OC?

Someone has tried to update his Wiki page to being OC of Nebraska. Last I saw was he is resigning due to family issues.

I don't believe the interwebs.

Yes the same issues that caused Urban Meyer to resign a few years back :rolleyes:

His google search page also lists him as the Nebraska OC lol

Statistically, Pitt ranked 3rd in points scored this season (43.0 ppg). Averaged 350 in the air; 150 on the ground; 500 yards total. Pretty even balance as far as play calling 40 pass attempts on average compared to 38 on the ground.

Whipple's first year at Pitt [2019] offense ranked 114th of 130 in scoring. Jumped to 58th last season.

When he was at Miami [FL], similar balanced play calling with lack luster results. Looks like his career at UMass had some successful seasons. In 1993, Sports Illustrated dubbed his New Haven team as having "the best offense in college football".

Personally, it wouldn't be the most exciting of hires. There seem to be mixed results. You can look at his successes and try to build some excitement off of them, but you could also get pretty down about some of the failures.

And lets not forget this could very well be a "one and done" scenario for anyone who is hired, so I wouldn't give up on it just yet (if he is indeed the hire)
