Eagles offensive assistant coach Mark Whipple has left to become the offensive coordinator at the University of Miami.
Whipple was a candidate to take over as quarterbacks coaching job for the Birds after Pat Shurmur left to be the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams.
“Aside from being innovative at his craft, Mark is a tremendous individual who will positively impact our student-athletes on and off the field,” Miami coach Randy Shannon said.
Whipple is best known for being the quarterbacks coach in Pittsburgh from 2004 through 2006, where he helped to develop Ben Roethlisberger, who was the youngest starting QB to win a Super Bowl four seasons ago under Whipple's tutelage.
Whipple also spent 16 years as a head coach on the college level at Massachusetts, Brown—his alma mater— and New Haven, going 121-59 in those seasons and winning a Division I-AA national championship in 1998 with UMass.
