UMass will part ways with football coach Mark Whipple after a 4-8 season, according to multiple reports.
Bruce Feldman of The Athletic and FOX Sports was first to report the news, which was confirmed by MassLive.com's Matt Vautour.
The Minutemen concluded their season with a 66-27 loss to powerhouse Georgia on Saturday. Whipple was 16-44 in his second stint at UMass, which began in 2014. He had coached the Minutemen to a Division I-AA title in 1998 and after years as an NFL assistant, he came back to lead the program after it was elevated to the Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly Division I-A.
