Overview
- Indiana co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Chandler Whitmer interviewed this week for Tampa Bay’s vacant quarterbacks coach job, according to reports from Cameron Wolfe and Pete Nakos.
- The role is part of an offensive staff reset that installed Zac Robinson as coordinator and followed the Buccaneers’ dismissal of quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis.
- Whitmer, 34, logged NFL experience with the Chargers from 2021 to 2023 and worked with Robinson in Atlanta in 2024 as a pass-game specialist.
- In 2025 at Indiana, he helped transfer quarterback Fernando Mendoza win the Heisman Trophy during a 16-0 national championship season that featured nation-leading production.
- A potential departure would test continuity for Curt Cignetti’s staff at Indiana, though Tampa Bay has not announced a hire.
