Yeah ranked 3rd in scoring for Pitt this year but #22 yards per play tells me he can maintain a drive. Isn't that what need big team?If he's the guy, color me unimpressed with his recent resume. Based on yards per play, below are his NCAA ranks from UMass and Pitt:
2014 UMass #56 5.75 ypp
2015 UMass #84 5.41 ypp
2016 UMass #94 5.33 ypp
2017 UMass #43 6.00 ypp
2018 UMass #16 6.40 ypp
2019 Pitt #106 5.18 ypp
2020 Pitt #98 5.13 ypp
2021 Pitt #22 6.45 ypp
In 8 years he's had 2 top 30 offenses and 3 offenses ranked above #90.
The 16th ranked YPG at UMass isn't impressive?
He took UMass to a top 16 offense and your not impressed?
So UMASS going from 110 to 35 and Pitt going from 112 to 3 is just completely ignored? Outside of the fact those are not talent rich schools at all.Whipple's ranks in scoring offense:
2014 UMass #78 27.3 ppg
2015 UMass #108 22.2 ppg
2016 UMass #110 23.3 ppg
2017 UMass #47 30.6 ppg
2018 UMass #35 32.8 ppg
2019 Pitt #112 21.2 ppg
2020 Pitt #58 29.0 ppg
2021Pitt #3 43.0 ppg
2021 is clearly an outlier. He's had as many offenses rank in >100 in scoring offense as he has had in the top 50.

My only concern here is that it took a few years. We ain't got a few years...So UMASS going from 110 to 35 and Pitt going from 112 to 3 is just ignored? Outside of the those are not rich schools at all.
Sounds like a Scott Frost alias to meAdded by Bskramer79. Whoever that is
Sure, but we aren't talking about the talent pool of UMASS or PITT. We have some really great talent, a great WR coach and potentially great OL Coach. We are going to have the most talented staff he's worked on in my opinion.My only concern here is that it took a few years. We ain't got a few years...
