Whipple Resigned at Pitt

Yeah I saw that. Where is the Whip-lash offense headed? I was not a fan of his at Miami. He did a nice job at Pitt with that QB.
 
A candidate for Nebraska’s offensive coordinator job resigned from his current post on Tuesday, according to reports.
Pitt offensive coordinator Mark Whipple, who helped develop Kenny Pickett into a Heisman Trophy contender and oversaw a Pittsburgh offense in 2021 that ranked near the top of the country in several metrics, resigned Monday and is not expected to coach in the Panthers’ bowl game, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.

The Journal Star reported Saturday that Whipple had been contacted by Nebraska and the sides are believed to have interviewed on Sunday.

There had been a question, though, about whether the 64-year-old Whipple would actually leave Pittsburgh at this point in his career. He is a Tarrytown, New York, native and has spent most of it on the East Coast, including two stints as the head coach at UMass. In fact, he hasn’t had a coaching job outside the Eastern time zone since 1984.

However, Whipple now reportedly won’t be returning to Pitt. What’s his next move? Certainly, he could retire after a good run with a tremendous quarterback in Pickett, who is off to the NFL. Also, a report from a Pittsburgh radio station cited a source saying that Whipple's decision to resign, "is family related."



 
Hard pass on Whipple? You're crazy. I mean, I like Anae more personally. But Whipple would be a massive upgrade.
Based on his 5th year QB with 50+ starts, Kenny Pickett turning into an NFL draft pick?

Yeah. noooooooooo thanks.
