and pop off in you must, but there were several quarterbacks who showed a lot of promise but who were not properly developed or given opportunities after Max Hall. Each suffered from inadequate coaching, unimpressive recruiting, and a poor offensive scheme. Heaps and Lark are among them.
It started at the top with Bronco mismanaging his coaches: Anae, Cahoon, Doman, DuPaix, Hill, and Howell are among that bunch. Allowing Doman to become offensive coordinator while also being responsible to coach the quarterbacks was detrimental to his coaching career and to player development.
