What did we learn? Northwestern Version

While recognizing that he took a step back in his development against NW, I think people are not appreciating what Haarberg has done for this team: LEAD. He’s a leader and the team plays hard for him. With him under center, the team has improved from 0-2 to be 5-3. Those of you just concentrating on his faults kind of nauseate me.

Also, he would probably benefit from an actual QB Coach, which Nebraska does not have.

He does have an actual QB coach.... Our last staff had a dedicated qb coach and look how great that turned out.

At a quick glance, georgia,  alabama, and clemson the 3 progrums who have pretty much ran college football for 15 years also structure their staff in a way where the QB coach is handled by the OC/HC/or split role.... seems to work ok for them?

We most certainly do have a qb coach.  I think cheekygeek is simply living up to the former part of his name and not so much of the latter.  The passion, dare I say cheekiness is there, but for a geek I would expect a bit more familiarity and understanding of how our staff is structured.

They also sign better QBs.  Maybe we should try that.

Every year, fan bases debate the value of a specific qb coach, and it almost always boils down to anecdotal examples of where one apparently worked and one apparently didn't.

Realistically, we might just all have to agree that perhaps there's more nuance to it all.

very true.  same can also be said for whoever the OC is.  Most maligned role in this progrum for 15 years now

He actually said : “they also sign better QBs”

not sure what your measuring stick for gauging recruiting better QBs is than to going off their rating out of hs.

if you really wanna spend a few minutes of your day arguing semantics of another posters wording, go ahead. To me- sign better qbs is elevating the talent and stature of the talent you’re bringing in. Tomato tomatoe
