If it ain’t broke, how do you coach it? Redskins QB coach is finding out

After 21 starts at quarterback over three years at San Diego State, Kevin O'Connell had distinguished himself in a number of areas. He was 10th in Aztec career history in passing yardage, eighth in passing attempts, seventh in completions and fifth in total offense with 5,530 yards.

There was one area in which his success was superlative: O'Connell’s 906 rushing yards — that’s 43 per start — were the most in school history by a quarterback.

Fast forward to today and O’Connell, 32, is in his first year as the Redskins quarterbacks coach.
