The Miami Herald is reporting that Eagles offensive assistant Mark Whipple has been hired as the new offensive coordinator at that University of Miami.
Whipple, 51, will be the Hurricanes’ fourth offensive coordinator in five seasons.
An official announcement is expected tomorrow.
”I didn’t know Mark that well, bringing him here,” Eagles coach Andy Reid told The Philadelphia Daily News in late July. “I just knew the things he’d accomplished. I talked to [former Steelers coach] Bill Cowher, and Bill really liked him, said he’d be one of the first guys he’d hire if he came back as a head coach.”
Whipple spent 16 seasons as a head coach on the collegiate level, compiling a 121-59 (.672) record and leading Division I-AA Massachusetts to the national championship in 1998. That same year, he was named Division I-AA Coach of the Year.
He also has a Super Bowl ring. Whipple was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterbacks coach from 2004-06, developing Ben Roethlisberger.
