I love this guy. First he tells the defense, in the middle of a game, on the last drive, to “Give us a fucking look!” Now, he puts it straight to the potentially lazy offensive players who don’t want to learn the playbook.

“If you want something easy, you should’ve gone Division III,” Whipple said. “You would’ve been a star, but no one would’ve cared.”

If Whipple produces results, as his bravado and resume suggest, he will forever become a folk hero in Hurricane fans’ eyes. Of course he does get the benefit of the reverse Spurrier scenario, what with him coming after Patrick “Spread Em Out” Nix.

“What I said to the guys is that if you’re here at the University of Miami, then your expectations are to play in the National Football League,” Whipple said. “And here’s what we do in the National Football League. And here’s what’s been successful. We’ve played in three (league) championship games and won a Super Bowl. If you can’t do it here now, don’t think you’re going to learn it five years from now.”

Now that is the type of NFLU I believe in. Prepare the players for the League, get them to come to Miami for this same reason, instead of just being lazy for 3  years then bolting on the reputation of the program.

This guy even has a sense of situational humor.

“It’s more of a language barrier,” Whipple said. “It’s like no habla Ingles with them. What’s “Two Jet Zebra Drive?” They never heard that, but here’s what it means.”

And my favorite quote of them all? His take on the WR rotation:

“We’ll rotate when they drop the ball.”
