While Bajakian survived, I feel that bringing in a dedicated QB coach is warranted. Bajakian has failed to develop any of the QBs he has brought in. The only good QB in his tenure was Ramsey and he had nothing to do with it. I think someone solely dedicated to the development of the most important person on the team is a no brainer. I cannot imagine that there are many power 5 schools without a QB coach. I think the QB coach could also serve as interim OC if and when they do not turn things around. I know it will never happen but I would love to see an outside the box hire like bring in a coach that was part of an innovative college offense or a high school coach running an innovative offense that has a star QB that could qualify for NU. What I do not want to see happen is a bringing in a someone who was a tight ends coach at some midlevel program who's offense was mediocre and has no experience coaching QBs. I honestly think the reason we do not have QB coach is so we can use that salary to pay the OC more, which would be fine if our OC was successful.
I also feel Fitz should relinquish Special Teams coaching duties. Field goal kicking has always been a liability under Fitz. It is sad to think that a school with as much money as NU has and as much money as BIG 10 football generates to not have these position coaches in an effort to save money.
