Just a million practical reasons it's not likely and none that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,253 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This is not an answer to the original question, but QBS under Dye seemed to have good progression over their career. He had a run of R Campbell, P Washington, Burger, Slack, and White. With the exception of White the others played sparingly as freshmen and sophomores and became very solid starters as juniors and seniors. White is an exception because he started as a redshirt freshman, but he too progressed over his career. I know the game has changed a ton but I wish we could get into that type of QB career sequence again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaolgatiger 520 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 We would be there now if it weren't for TQ's injury and JJ's meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The handling of Caddy & Ronnie...pure genious. And Campbell thrived under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnphan 6,050 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 We had a good QB coach last year, but he was coaching WR's, was also an ace recruiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you base this on? He has coached QB's at Tuskegee...I guess that makes him a QB coach? He wasn't the QB coach(he was just given that title) at FSU, because Jimbo is. I was happy to have Dameyune back at Auburn for recruiting purposes, but he's not a proven QB or WR coach from my standpoint. He is a hired gun/top notch recruiter.

Don't get me wrong, I wish DC was still on our side, but I hope we can do better than DC if we hire a QB coach. And yes, I do think we need one. However, talent makes a coach look good and other than Sean, we just haven't had it the last couple of years. I wish TQ wasn't injured, because I think he could have been a good backup if not a starter. I was also sick on how things turned out for JJ. I really expected big things from him. I don't think his issues were coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cctiger 571 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Folks, not gonna happen as long as Gus and the Lash are on the Plains. Gus considers himself and Lash as QB gurus. Gus is probably sitting with Lash in some candle lit room around a waterpipe at this moment with their turbans on chanting and hoping for some vision of what to do next, and anything or anyone outside of their little circle ain't going to happen. Imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
