Curt Cignetti has an opening on his coaching staff.
Per reports, IU quarterbacks coach Chandler Whitmer is leaving the Hoosiers to take the same position with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL.
This will be the second consecutive offseason Indiana will have to replace its quarterbacks coach. Cignetti hired Whitmer last year after Tino Sunseri left to become UCLA’s offensive coordinator. Sunseri was let go midseason as the Bruins struggled.
Whitmer came to IU after spending 2024 with the Atlanta Falcons as pass game specialist, and before that he was an offensive quality control coach for the Los Angeles Chargers. He helped coach Fernando Mendoza to a record-setting season with the Hoosiers, one that culminated in a bounty of postseason honors including IU’s first Heisman Trophy. Mendoza shattered the program’s single-season touchdown record with 41, and finished with the second-most yards in a single season at 3,535.
