Quarterback Coaching Summit Aims to Create Opportunity for Black NFL Coaches

Last year was the second for the Quarterback Coaching Summit, and the first for the NFL running it in conjunction with the Black College Football Hall of Fame. And there were plenty of moments, for the league’s EVP of football operations, Troy Vincent, to illustrate why the event was so necessary in the first place.

There was ex-Colts and Lions coach Jim Caldwell explaining the first 30 days for a head coach, then going step-by-step through a year-long process of teaching and developing a young quarterback, from general philosophy down to specifics of mechanics. There was Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy lecturing on leadership, managing a staff and building player/coach relationships.
