NASHVILLE — Even as the concept of the dual-threat quarterback has become embedded, dual-threat coaches are becoming endangered.
This offseason alone, several have acknowledged that serving as program CEO and calling plays requires more bandwidth than they can bear. UCF’s Gus Malzahn recently announced he is relinquishing play-calling duties to his offensive coordinator (Darin Hinshaw). Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz is doing the same.
Jimbo Fisher, who recently hired former Arkansas and Louisville coach Bobby Petrino as his coordinator, is expected to follow suit.
