Ex-Pitt offensive coordinator Mark Whipple resigned from his position on Pat Narduzzi’s coaching staff on Tuesday amid rumors of interest in moving on to a Big Ten program, and the following morning, Nebraska announced that it had hired Whipple to fill the same role.
At Nebraska, Whipple will join the staff of Scott Frost. Whipple’s new boss notably turned UCF from a 0-12 team in 2015 to a 13-0 team in 2017 before returning to Lincoln to coach at his alma mater. But since taking the reins at Nebraska in 2018, Frost has yet to post a winning record, and that has seen him part ways with two offensive coordinators in four years, including Troy Walters and Matt Lubick.
