1. Why not Lamb? I think an assistant head coach is qualified to do so. I also think that other coaches had told Beau the same thing.
2. Discuss and talk through what? "Beau, you aren't good enough to crack our 3-deep at QB, so we are moving you to a position you will have a chance" "But coach, I really, really, really want to play QB"?
3. Who wasn't on the same page? Did someone come out and say they wanted Hoge at QB? I didn't hear anyone say it.
Here is what Beau said on the first day of practice ""I've known for a long time," said Hoge, who heard about the move sometime in April. "I've been keeping it a secret for a while."
