Whipple Resigns

why you coming at me with that language, dude? don't act like a d!ck. it's just message board opinion. and let me retort.
oh, i know what he did at LSU. would it have worked if he had lesser talent? he got a promotion to the NFL and didn't last two seasons. i'm not saying he didn't have a great season in 2019. but that's a very small sample size. and if you don't understand basic statistics, "you don't follow college football very closely and really don't know what you're talking about." ed orgeron was the HC - was he brilliant? why did he regress to the mean after those great players left?
other coaches could easily say that KP was an outlier. we bring in an OC who has good experience and sell playing under narduzzi. whipple didn't recruit KP. PN picked up nate and got him to the NFL w/out whipple, right? i'd agree that it would be better to have whipple to recruit a transfer but i also don't think it's earth shattering. PN is no stranger to recruiting QB transfers. and who knows if we even take a QB transfer.
Good. He did not develop Pickett and was a hindrance. He likely cost Pitt going 12-0 this year. Canada would have been 12-0 and not lost to WMU or Miami. And no this is not sarcasm. I really did not like Whipple. I hope I don't eat the grass is greener metaphor, but such is life. Hopefully Narduzzi can bring in someone better given recent success.
Wait--what is your point? As I said, Joe Brady came in and installed, coached and ran that offense that one year only. Then he was gone. He had the exact same players Emsminger did the year before. Emsminger literally had nothing to do with it.
I have reputable sources and for you to mention this just goes to show you what kind of a chicken little you are
That "insane talent" was there for 5 years and looked anything but "insanely talented" before this year.
The offense was complete trash before Marion got here. You don't think he had any influence at all? Come on lolBrennan Marion - Wide Receivers - Staff Directory - Pitt Panthers #H2P
Follow Brennan Marion: Twitter Brennan Marion, considered one of college football’s top young assistants, was named Pitt’s new wide receivers coach by Pat Narduzzipittsburghpanthers.com
Based on this shallow and much less than impressive resume?
you dispute that?
Not coaching in the bowl game is a bush league move for Whipple, IMHO.
Oh well. Kenny's legs will be fresher for his next fake slide since he won't have to walk to the sideline after every play......

I don't want give this post a like, because I don't like his wife being very sick. But it seems to make the most sense.
Whipple didn't travel to Nebraska, Frost didn't come to Pittsburgh. It sounds like Whipple went home to Arizona, and made an offer to a nearby Pitt target. Maybe Frost went there to try to lure him to Nebraska, maybe to be OC, but maybe to be a consultant or part-time QB coach. Anything is possible, though.
That's a common time to job hop. There have been coordinators skip town before National Title games.
And though I know nothing, I believe his wife may indeed be very sick. Whipple just seemed to me to have a very subdued demeanor about him. I don't know whether he has always been that way.
Please zap don't confuse some of these chicken littles with facts they know nothing
Whipple was a big part of Pitt's success this year. I wish him the best moving forward.
While I like Marion's potential, Pitt needs to do a thorough search for its next OC. If Narduzzi believes he's the best fit moving forward, excellent. I do hope they bring in quality candidates during the interview process.

Initial reaction?? I’m not totally psyched about this news…
we will see
but it kind of makes that whole “get a QB through the portal “ kind of …eh? Difficult?

You went full SMF... everyone knows you never go full SMF...
I like the idea of an experienced OC, who might also bring along A WR coach that would upgrade that position.
we had a few good days here at the lair. good to see everything is back to normal
Cant disagree with you there. That would be terrific as well. I just think money wise, get some go getters more cheap. I am sure Marion knows a few to back fill too.
Remember when we sucked and people mentioned that if people were being plucked from our program it was a sign of success???
Guess what? Success. That's a good thing. Our OC job is also more attractive to other good coaches now.

What has he accomplish? Where has he accomplished it?
You think he has a resume meriting consideration, never mind hire?
Who’s Up for Pitt’s Offensive Coordinator This Season?
With Kenny Pickett playing his last game in a Pitt jersey on Dec. 30 in the Peach Bowl, Pitt’s offense was already going to look much different next season. With offensive coordinator Mark Whipple’s resignation, well, Pitt is going to have to build a new foundation in 2022. While Pitt’s Peach...

The Whipple resignation has moved the betting line in the peach bowl. Lots of people thinking this will impact KP decision to play.
I agree with this hands down. Yeah we’ll hire or promote a new OC and be ok in the long run assuming we make a good choice, but I don’t know how anyone can say we don’t take an immediate short term hit w/r to the bump in interest, particularly among transfers, that would have been expected because of this year’s successes.
Are you unaware of how much the offenses improved at William & Mary and Howard when he became OC? You didn't see the improvement in Pitt's receivers this year? Do you think Whipple made Pickett, while he had no role in Addison's development.
I didn't express any love for hiring Marion, but you registered your distinct disdain for it. I think both views are ridiculous. You give a guy a chance or you don't, but I don't get emotional about it.
William & Mary and Howard? Long, successful runs there?
Well in that case, by all means, hire him.

Some of these same posters bitched up a storm when Whipple wouldn't run the ball etc. Zap and I heard the same type of plan about Marion. It will work out H2P
