Quarterback Coaching Summit

Every now and then the NFL does a really good thing. This is one of the those things. In an effort to improve the coaching and personnel development pipeline the league will partner with the Black College Football Hall of Fame in hosting the 2019 NFL Quarterback Coaching Summit from June 24-25 in Atlanta. Assistant and positional NFL and NCAA coaches have been invited to attend.

"As part of our ongoing efforts to develop a diverse pipeline of offensive coaches and personnel, the Quarterback Coaching Summit is an opportunity for participants to further develop and perfect their proficiencies in game administration, offensive philosophy implementation and quarterback development," said Troy Vincent, NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations.

Helping those trying to make it in the football coaching profession is a very good thing. Having the opportunity to make contacts with those that have been through it is a very good thing. The only thing that I'd change is opening this summit up to defensive coaches. The NFL decision-makers might see it differently but football isn't just about the offense.
