Matty V. reports that sources say Whipple will interview for the job. Matty also adds a doozy of a rumor -- that Don Brown will join Whipple as his defensive coordinator.
That would be a grand slam for Minutemen fans, but Brown would probably have to take a big pay cut for that to happen.
Whipple's Cleveland bio for recent UMass fans.
In this article on December 29th, Don Brown had this to say:
"In the aftermath of Charley Molnar’s dismissal at UMass, BC defensive coordinator Don Brown, who did stints in Amherst as a defensive coordinator (1998-99) and head coach (2004-08), has surfaced as a possible successor. Brown said he has had no contact with UMass.
“That’s so far from me right now, I haven’t talked to a soul,’’ Brown said. “I have no comment on that deal.’’
Whipple would be a good hire for UMass. He knows the area and he knows the challanges we face. In his previous stint with the Minutemen, the UMass offense went from 0 to 60 in about 3.2 seconds. He'd have to bring in some offensive talent to duplicate that feat.
