Mark Whipple Officially Named Offensive Coordinator + Quarterbacks Coach

To the Whipple haters:

Whipple, in his first year and to no fault of his own, inherited arguably the worst offensive line in the last 60+ years of Husker football.

Whipple has praise from Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger and the last QB he coached at Pitt, Kenny Pickett, broke all of Dan Marino's passing records at Pitt and started his first NFL game last Sunday.

Pump the brakes on Whipple because he did NOT construct this offensive line.

Whipple is pretty solid IMO. He doesn't have much of an offensive line to work with. Some of the "collaborative efforts" with our previous HC weren't particularly helpful I'd imagine. He does opt to run inside and is known for doing that. Maybe he could incorporate some outside rushes. He has a lot of experience and has seen lots of things.

Our line is god awful, but I think the 2005 line is definitely the worst by far and any other claim is a far, far second place.

Cant knock them if they working though, Alot of teams throw the same pass 10 times a game. They just seem to work for everyone else a bit better lol.

Wouldn't bother me if he didn't. I would rather a better dual threat guy back there. Make defenses game plan the Qb's ability to take it to the house.

I agree.  And I am not even talking a QB who is truly a "dual threat".  I'd take designed QB runs like Clemson used Lawrence. He wasn't a dual threat, but scrambled enough and had enough designed runs per game that DC's had to account for him.  As it is now, I do not think DC's are concerned about him (CT) running at all.

Haha.  Every year, since I can't remember, I always thought that.  Then realized the craptastic product we saw from game one was simply what we had to offer.  I'd think between all the years that Whip and Busch have they could still dial up some surprises.  Moving forward we can use some.

 
It didn’t work out well here.  But, he’s had a hell of a career. This had to be a hard night for him. Hope he enjoys retirement.  
 


That’s  a hell of a picture for an old coach like him.
