Veteran NFL Coach & Former Tight End; Head Coach of Arizona Cardinals & Tennessee Titans; Super Bowl XL Champion
Ken Whisenhunt Biography
Ken Whisenhunt is an American football coach and former NFL tight end whose career spans multiple decades across collegiate and professional football. Whisenhunt played at Georgia Tech, where he was a two-time First Team All-ACC selection and earned Honorable Mention All-America honors. He was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1985 NFL Draft and played eight seasons in the NFL as a tight end for the Atlanta Falcons, Washington Redskins, and New York Jets before transitioning to coaching.
Whisenhunt began his coaching career at Vanderbilt University, working with special teams, tight ends, and H-backs. He returned to the NFL as a tight ends coach for the Baltimore Ravens and later held coaching positions with the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets. Whisenhunt joined the Pittsburgh Steelers as tight ends coach and was later promoted to offensive coordinator. During his tenure, he contributed to the Steelers' Super Bowl XL victory, including calling a notable wide receiver reverse pass. He was recognized as the Pro Football Writers of America NFL Assistant Coach of the Year for his offensive strategy.
Whisenhunt became head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, leading the team for six seasons. He guided the Cardinals to their first non-losing season in nearly a decade and, in his second year, led them to a franchise-record 12 wins, two NFC West Division Championships, an NFC Championship, and the team's first Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XLIII. Under Whisenhunt's leadership, quarterback Kurt Warner experienced a career resurgence and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald earned multiple Pro Bowl selections. Whisenhunt holds the record for most wins by a head coach in Cardinals franchise history.
After his time in Arizona, Whisenhunt served as offensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers and later became head coach of the Tennessee Titans. He returned to the coordinator role with the Los Angeles Chargers and later worked in college football as an offensive analyst at Penn State and as a special assistant to head coach Nick Saban at the University of Alabama. Whisenhunt also served as head coach of the Memphis Showboats of the United Football League, further demonstrating his expertise in offensive strategy and player development at both the collegiate and professional levels.
