Yup, Whipple has UMass playing top notch offensive football maybe not defensively just yet, but offensively under Whipple they're on the right track. UMass are ranked 55th overall offensively and ranked 10th in passing yards in the FBS, in Mark Whipples first year year as HC at UMass. Whipple elevated UMass offensive game in 1 year guys with players that were not his and yet some say give Diaco 3 years so he can recruit his players blah blah blah... Some said the same about PP and he still stunk. If your a great coach you can make good things happen with your players or not.
Whipple recruited something like 7 JUCO players and all on the offensive side of the ball. He got the Marshall backup QB who turned out to be very good (1 more year of eligibility). He got hurt and the last two games without him their offense was horrendous (along with their defense). In football you NEED a decent QB to really make things go or you need a top notch defense to keep your team in the game at least.
