    All right. Well then, here's to all the success in the world for Mr. Dahlquist. I think the bigger story here is that we actually hired a QB coach. Even if they had hired Troy Kopp or Russ Michna, at

This seems like a very interesting hire. He's old ... 71 years old ... but he's got a TON of NCAA OC experience at big name schools.

Also worth noting, he's been the QB coach at every NCAA job he's ever held.

He also was QB coach with Omaha in the UFL while Bellefeuille was OC.

Well, we've been owed a QB coach for a very long time.

 

That's a ton of experience and a welcome addition.

What's this, the #Bombers have a quarterback's coach? Will wonders never cease?

I just hope this guy isn't another Mike Kelly or Gary Crowton. Those guys apparently knew a lot about being a QB too, and yet all they knew how to do was fail spectactularly.

He was Scottish Claymore HC in NFLEL but apparently he has no QB coach in his staff, so its safe to assume he coached the QBs too. His OC coached the receivers.

I hope he understands the CFL game.

He's been around so long, I think he invented the CFL game.

He's not old enough ...

Oh yay...another link to Bellefeuille.  That always exudes so much confidence in me for this teams future.

 

Well with that much experience I hope he's really good at what he does, especially in our league.  I'm with Gbill and KBF, I hope this guy can figure out our game and teach accordingly.  NCAA isn't the same as the CFL.  I hope O'Shea knows what he's doing.

Speaking of old QB's ... this pic is crazy and has a CFL HOF in it ... it was taken in 1961, the story is here ... http://thestacks.deadspin.com/fourteen-nfl-quarterbacks-play-nice-in-a-chicago-photo-1472029686/1472553327/@tcraggs22

A QB coach...  Thats good news

Finally is what I say.

He's not running the offence. I wouldn't be concerned.

We've been waiting quite awhile for a qb. coach and finally have him. As far as his age goes, you have to be around that long to acquire the experience this man has. Could be a little snow on the chimney, doesn't mean there's no fire in the furnace. Looking forward to see what he can bring to our guys.

I hope he understands the CFL game.

He's been around so long, I think he invented the CFL game.

He probably mentored "Indian" Jack Jacobs.

He worked the last number of years as a "special consultant" ... sounds familiar ;)

This guy won't be designing our offense.

He's a prep coach for QBs entering college or the NFL. A lot like what Marc Trestman does during his offseasons. He just does it all year round.

 

Dahlquist has worked with recent QBs like Marcus Mariota, Zach Mettenberger and Tajh Boyd. He also helped prep Terrell Pryor for the NFL.

Ya, just did that for all the panicky types ... :) His resume is solid as far as I'm concerned, he's perfectly qualified to be a QB coach for the Bombers. Just glad this team finally entered the 2000's and hired one  :lol:

I don't know if this is a good hire or not. He's worked with Bellefeuile before, so seems to be it's a friends bringing in friends type of deal, but considering that a QB Coach has gone wanting around these parts, better than nothing I suppose.
