IU football coach Curt Cignetti is bringing back Tino Sunseri as his quarterbacks coach based on multiple Tuesday evening reports.
The news follows the decision by 2025 quarterbacks coach Chandler Whitmer to leave for the NFL.
Sunseri left Indiana following the 2024 season to become the offensive coordinator at UCLA. Sunseri and UCLA mutually agreed to part ways just four games into the 2025 campaign.
Sunseri has had a long run of success with quarterbacks, including Kurtis Rourke at Indiana in 2024.
Sunseri came to Indiana from James Madison where he worked under Cignetti.
Under his direction, the 2023 season saw Jordan McCloud earn Sun Belt Player of the Year, in 2022, Todd Centeio was voted Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year, and in 2021, Cole Johnson set the JMU single-season records for passing yards (3,779), passing touchdowns (41), and completions (287).
Sunseri came to JMU after a two-and-a-half year stint on Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama, where he served as a graduate assistant, working primarily with the quarterbacks.
