Not sure if “QB coach for Petras and Stanley” gives me a lot of confidence….though I will admit, Stanley was an underrated QB. Only big frustrations I had with him were disappearing in some of the big moments (besides OSU ‘17) and then air mailing lots of seemingly makeable long plays
Speaking of QB gurus, does anyone remember George Whitfield being a GA at Iowa. Can we get him to come back?
From ranking of
best QB coaches
1. George Whitfield
Arguably the hottest hand in the QB guru game, George Whitfield’s clientele list reads like a who’s who of elite college football gunslingers.
Whitfield played HS ball at Massillon in Ohio (notably where Paul Brown got his head coaching start) and eventually signed on to play with Jim Tressel at Youngstown State in 1996.
Whitfield ultimately transferred to Tiffin University (also in Ohio) and
got his foot in the door in coaching as a GA at Iowa and left that short-term stopover to try his luck as a QB in the Arena League.
After slowly slipping down the Arena ladder, Whitfield wound up getting into the guru biz by coaching a single fifth grader in a one-on-one setting in 2007, a successful task that got him on the long journey to guru status.
Whitfield works alongside NFL standout Warren Moon at
Whitfield Athletix in San Diego, Calif. where the motto is “Your Dream. Our Mission.”
Whitfield and company have worked with Ben Roethlisberger, Tajh Boyd, E.J. Manuel, Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, Landry Jones, Logan Thomas, Johnny Manziel, Jarrett Lee and Braxton Miller.
