New Offensive Coordinator options?

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.
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? 

 


Well it appears the dominoes are really starting to fall today in Nebraska's assistant coaching search.

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.

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.

My only concern here is that it took a few years. We ain't got a few years...
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.
