I watched a decent amount of the Eagles-Giants game yesterday and I've always been a fan, but even I didn't realize how good a football coach this guy is. Somebody needs to pay him be an OC and/or head coach in waiting sooner than later. I'd love for it to be us, but I don't see Napier delegating to somebody who could wind up taking his job (especially if he doesn't move on from Toney on the other side of the ball). Here's a list of his QBs since going to Mississippi State:
2014&15- Dak Prescott 2016- Nick Fitzgerald for the one semi-successful year of his career, got a couple looks at TE for NFL teams if I recall correctly 2017- D'Eriq King turns into a fringe Heisman contender never comes close to duplicating that success at Houston or Miami for different coaches 2018- Feleipe Franks's one good year of QB play, never approached before or since 2019,20- Turns Trask into a Heisman finalist and 2nd round pick, hadn't started since JV and the tea leaves seem to say he may not get a shot in the NFL, plenty of mocks have Bucs taking a QB 21&22- Hurts goes from raw passer with a completion % in the mid-50s with serious questions as to his viability as a starting QB to MVP frontrunner
That is the best QB coach's resume in the world. I don't think it's particularly close. I truly believe he could have turned Richardson into the consensus 1/1 and a Heisman frontrunner. There's no way in Hell Emory Jones starts in 21 if Johnson is here. Downside, and it's considerable, is that he would have continued to save Mullen's job until he left.

If I draft any QB in the first round and want him to play at all in year 1 and/or be ready to start in year 2, meaning I'm probably a bad football team, I would money whip BJ and promote him from QB coach to OC. If he's open to going back to college I'd make him the top paid assistant in college, OC, and head coach in waiting. If he wants a head job I'd put him at the top of my list everywhere except for a destination job that is currently operating at a play-off contending level. I might even accelerate my drop dead date for signs of life from my current coach if I was at a traditional power who is a sleeping giant. Can't think of any school like that though. Wait.........................
