I guess he could be on the side…from everything I've read he's a medical/pharma sales rep.

He'd have to want to be a coach, Boca is a long way from Norman, OK

Is that where he is living now?  I lived there for three years…night and day from here.

He is from Edmond…very $$$ city…

If coach can get him I would like to see Bernie Kosar as our quarterback coach because his name alone will help us when it comes to recruiting. There is also an added benefit to having Kosar on the staff, Jackson will then have a person that has been in those game time situations that he can ask questions when needed.

Kosar has made millions in the business world since his playing days.  I know he briefly had an interest in the UM head coaching job, but I seriously doubt he would leave his business ventures behind to be the QB coach here.

Sometimes it's not always about the money - hard to believe, but it might be an attractive proposition for him to return to football.  Love of the game can be a very powerful aphrodisiac to some and it seems like he is interested in getting into coaching and what better way to getting your feet wet, then starting out as a QB coach, learn & then later on get an opportunity to get a head coaching position.  It would be hard for him to get any consideration (or at least seriously) as a HC position with no experience coaching.

I wouldn't be surprised if the QB coach is one of Howard's former QBs. I expect it to be someone that he knows very well, someone that knows his system, and someone who he has a lot of confidence in. Who better than one of his former QBs??

GO OWLS!!!

I would go along with this. An ex QB who knows the system and also have knowledge to have some in put into an offensive game plan.

My sleeper pick…Garrett Jahn!!!  ;D

He's a teacher in Clewiston I think, not too far, Boca is better than Clewiston right? And the pay can't be that different. The guy was backup for what, 3 years? He knows the system. Having someone that's been up in the Glades could also help for recruiting.

Fun fact for the noobs: Garrett was our first ever starting QB, he took the first snaps against Slippery Rock, won the job on a coin flip.

Ted seems to have an inkling that we still will get Brohm as QB coach.  That would be a coup and one step closer to making FAU = Quarterback U.

interestingly enough… we have paid attention to losing our OC, obviously, but nord was ALSO our QB coach…

any word on who will take over as QB coach?

Good point, Owl09. Who will be our QB coach? Maybe a young gun trying to get into coaching?

Jared Allen?! LOL

Although not directly taking over the duties, how prophetic is this comment by Smitty given Jared's return to the program??

Sure is a small world at times ;D

I think it was a pretty safe bet that he would return at some point in time. No surprise for me.

GO OWLS!!!
