Most of the time, it falls to the offensive coordinator. (Officially, Tim Beck was OC/QB's coach.)<br /><br />College teams are limited in the number of assistant coaches, so having a QB coach means that you have one fewer assistant at another position.<br /><br />FWIW, I do agree with your thought that quarterback development has been an issue at Nebraska, so I do agree that QB coaching was an area of need if Pelini had been retained. I had resisted the notion of a QB coach for a long time, but it's become clear that QB development has been an issue.

We need a guy who's been in the NFL to work on mechanics, reads, and accuracy. A few better throws here and there, and Pelini keeps his job. But qb skills and qb recruiting wasn't his priority. THAT was his downfall. James Leroy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658977123542740075noreply@blogger.com
