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?

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...

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.

Both Whipple and Quinn are older with head coaching experience. If it’s these guys it tells me we highly valued bringing in some experienced grizzled vets to help Frost. We all saw Frost was in over his head and these guys seem like they can try to stabilize things and take care of coaching football. This route could be safe and less friction vs. some young guy coming in at OC trying to make a name for himself.  Plus I think these guys would tell Frost when it’s not working vs the staff that owed him since he brought them over as reward from UCF. Marry Frost’s concepts with these guy’s experience.
