earlier in the season next year.

And I actually had a buddy of mine who sent me one of the clips from Instagram where you were asking me about Caleb's accuracy improving by the end of the season, Marshall.

I said, it's going to really be hard during the regular season for that to show up.

I was really impressed because between that conversation we had in early December and the end of the regular season, his accuracy honestly did improve a lot more in that final month plus than I even thought it would.

Now he's got an offseason to really get into the mechanics of playing quarterback once

within Ben Johnson's offense.

It's not just about getting the playbook down rote memory style.

He can combine knowing this offense with footwork and timing and getting the information from his brain out through his right arm in a really sort of smooth manner as opposed to having to catch up to the play like he did for much of the season last year.

I love what Maryland head coach, and he's from the DMV, but he was a former Illini offensive coordinator, Mike Loxley.

He, back during, like in 2020, when everybody was just kind of out of work and sitting around trying to figure out what to do next, basically, Mike Loxley started a Minority Coaches Coalition program.

to try and attack the issue that you're raising here where there's not enough black coaches who are getting opportunities as offensive play callers, as OCs and offensive play callers, as quarterback coaches, because that has more frequently become the path to becoming a head coach in modern football.

So the volume of those opportunities, it doesn't feel like are there anymore.

And so to attack that, to make sure that the coffers are as full as they can be.

Mike Loxley was a DB, but he's become thought of as this offensive wizard in college football.

Kevin Sumlin, a guy who's on his Maryland staff, was similar in that way.

Played defense, but became this offensive-minded guy as a college head coach.

But for black coaches, there's not as many...

quarterback coaches, offensive coordinators, offensive play callers, even when they are OCs.

And that tends to be where teams want to pluck those opportunities from.

And in the end, just like we're talking about Declan Doyle,
