I understand coach speak and it goes both ways.
I did not expect Coach Morris to speak so glowingly of Drew. I expected something more measured like:
"Drew had a great game all things considered. He showed poise, awareness, and threw the ball well. Are there some throws he'd like to have back? You bet. But this is a learning process and being his first start since high school, I think he handled himself well and the team rallied around him. And we fell just short of the win. As a 6-7 program, we all have work to do to get better and it begins tomorrow."
I'd love to have him for 4 years and I wonder if he won't choose to stay because our coaches actually trusted him. He and his high school teammate Coleman can be special here.
Cam stuck with Morris until he landed the job here and SHSU guys have followed Cassity here. Loyalty still exists. Drew has waited a long time for his chance. I don't see him bouncing on the first coach to give him a shot just to end up in a QB battle elsewhere.
Regardless, I'm going to enjoy this ride. We've got 3 capable QBs on the roster this spring when Poffenbarger and Jimerson show up. When's the last time we could say that?
