Tonight, in the first ever game of the College Football Playoff, Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers travel to South Bend to take on Notre Dame in a wintery wonderland.
Whether their magical season ends tonight or weeks down the road, Cignetti has had a spot on his offensive staff open following the news of Tino Suneri leaving to become the offensive coordinator at UCLA under DeShaun Foster as soon as their season ends.
A report this morning shares how Cignetti is filling that critical role.
Pete Thamel shares that the Hoosiers are expected to add Falcons pass game specialist Chandler Whitmer as their new quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator.
Whitmer has spent the last several seasons at the NFL level with the Falcons and Chargers. Prior to joining the staff in Atlanta back in February, Whitmer was an offensive quality control coach in LA working with Justin Herbert and the quarterbacks while also assisting in the day-to-day operations of the offensive staff.
Before making the jump to the NFL, the former UConn quarterback - who started 24 games under center for the Huskies - was a graduate assistant at Clemson working with the quarterbacks and receivers during Trevor Lawrence's runner-up finish for the 2020 Heisman, and also spent one season as a graduate assistant at Ohio State while Justin Fields led the Buckeyes to a 12-0 regular season.
