Here is a list of 8 coaches in the past decade who’s major contracts or extensions could’ve been prevented by waiting to see success with a 2nd QB (along with the QB that made them $)

  1. Mike Norvell, FSU, extension (Jordan Travis)
  2. Willie Taggart, FSU, contract (Quinton Flowers)
  3. Billy Napier, UF, contract (Levi Lewis)
  4. Scott Frost, Nebraska, contract (McKenzie Milton)
  5. Tom Herman, Texas, contract (Greg Ward Jr.)
  6. Tom Allen, Indiana, extension (Michael Penix Jr.) (thanks pro-tip810)
  7. (to a lesser extent) Jimbo Fisher, TAMU, extension (Kellen Mond)
  8. Kevin Sumlin, TAMU, contract (Case Keenum)

We’ve seen way too many issues with developing QB talent across CFB and sometimes a coach just gets lucky with a prospect.
