Sources – Indiana hires Chandler Whitmer as QB coach and assistant OC

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – As Indiana prepares for the biggest game in school history against Notre Dame on Friday night, it is also preparing for 2025.

Sources told ESPN Friday morning that the Hoosiers have hired Chandler Whitmer as the school’s new quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator for 2025.

Whitmer, 33, works as a passing specialist for the Atlanta Falcons and has extensive experience working with quarterbacks.

He will replace Tino Sunseri, who is leaving his role as offensive coordinator and playcaller at UCLA. Sunseri’s move was announced earlier this month, but he will remain with the Hoosiers for the remainder of the playoffs before moving to Westwood.

Whitmer brings an NFL and college background. He worked for the Chargers for three seasons in quality control, with a focus on quarterbacks. This also included working with Justin Herbert.

In college, he worked as a graduate assistant at Clemson and Ohio State, where he became familiar with the Big Ten. Whitmer has also worked over the years with the QB Collective, a quarterback incubator that brings NFL coaches to work with top high school quarterbacks. He is a former college quarterback at Illinois and UConn.
