From The Athletic:



It seemed evident that, at the very least, Chryst was prepared to evaluate other quarterbacks to determine a starter in 2019. He didn’t shut the door on the idea of an open quarterback competition this offseason.

“I think every time you go into it, that’s the beautiful thing about sports, is you compete,” Chryst said after the Pinstripe Bowl. “You have to. There’s not one thing that we did at that position that you say, ‘All right, this is how we want it to be.’ There’s moments, but clearly we’ve got to get better at that position, and better in the consistency of play at that position.”

This seems like kind of a stretch to say that meant much. It’s a truism. I bet he’d say it about a lot of what UW did last season. 
I’m sure if AH played as he did in 2017, it would be fine. Hopefully this means Mertz can spin the hell out of the ball or Coan is not bad like he was last season.

Yeah that's more of a boilerplate thing all/most coaches say even if they plan to play the returning starters. It doesn't let us know that Coan is better than Hornibrook. We're still mired in maybe.

Is Mertz an early enrollee? That would be HUGE.

Yes, he is. As for the quote.. that is the first time I ever heard PC address the QB situation in that manner, going back to 2005.

And most of the fanbase.


There are more rumors coming out, about how this ultimately went down, but I'll refrain. I really felt it was over when PC made his comments after the bowl game, so how it went down really doesn't matter.

Which may be a problem if any players are on his side

The defense fell off last season, compared with the first two he had behind him. They couldn't bail him out after INT's like they did in the past. Too many injuries took their toll on the unit.

perhaps the staff should have run off some defensive players?
