Who was the Texas QB Coach?

[Oldie but goodie]

Seems like Ellehnger developed pretty well and had a similar skill set to what we would like to run. Maybe Harry Potter "retires" this week and we could take a look at that guy.
Who are some good QB coaches that might be looking for a job?

Mike Yurcich was the QB coach/ OC, he was the passing game coordinator and QB coach at tOSU for a season or two and was the OC at Oklahoma St for 6 or 7 years before that.

Tom Herman has been a successful QB coach. And Sam Ehlinger has a year's eligibility left. Just sayin'.

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Not sure many, if any, players will follow Herman anywhere. He was not a player's coach

You forgot about Tim Beck. Fired after last year as OC QB coach. Now at NC State.

I like the way you think. Too good to be true for us, At lest, that's how I'm conditioned to think.

But, but, but, he used to give players big kisses with them in front of the camera before bowl games when he was at Houston. What happened?!

Sam declared for the draft

Herman getting fired probably had a lot to do with that. The kid loved Texas football and wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to stay an extra year if it wasn't for his head coach getting fired.

I think he was a player's coach at one point, but things weren't going as well as hoped and it started blowing up in his face. I think the same thing may end up happening with Frost if he wants to turn things around. He'll either have to choose to continue to be a nice guy and perform poorly or be a dick to get the player's to perform how he wants. This is the danger of being a player's coach.

Bring back Shawn Watson please.

Too much tongue

Some speculate the reason for the coaching change was due to lack of QB production in Austin.

Yeah I'm sure it had nothing to do with his draft position.

Herman came in way too cocky from the start and didn't produce enough wins against teams he "should" have beaten. His abrasive personality didn't mesh well with the players, media, and the big money guys. He really pissed off the big donors with the handling of "The Eyes of Texas", especially evident after the Oklahoma game.

And as Husker fans know, you can do much worse. Herman had a decent record at Texas and didn't deserve to get fired. But you brought in a drunkard instead to replace him. Good luck with that!

Can't remember where I heard it, but it was also said he didn't make a good impression with the in-state HS coaches, and "big-time" them quite a bit.

I can believe that. There were rumors of Herman "big leaguing" Bru McCoy (transferred to USC) in the hallways of the football facility. His abrasive personality wore thin any support he ever had.

I didn’t forget about him, I assumed the question was about the latest QB coach at Texas.

He was one of Ellingers QB coaches as recently as the previous year and had a hand in his development. Can't ignore thst

 

[oldjar07]

It was probably Herman as much as anybody.
