I distinctly remember Kenny getting a lot of the blame for how our QBs turned out and when a few years later, he became the QB coach to Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers, I remember some guffaws on how he was going to ruin Roethlisberger's career. Ben then proceeded to throw 32 TDs 11 INTs and to the highest QB rating of his career (to this day that's still his best season).
QB coaches, IMO, don't have as much an impact on a QB's abilities as people seem to think.
Well it's not that simple at least.
A coach can teach the best technique in the world.
But it's up to the player to have the talent and desire to take it to heart.
You can take a lineman with a horrible pass set and teach him the right one. You can tell him fifteen times. But if he isn't willing to sit there and do it a thousand times and build it into his brain, it won't matter.
