It’s been pretty awesome watching Coan get all this respect before the 2020 season. The dude works hard and the national media is starting to notice him.

The senior quarterback takes some heat from fans, but he’s criminally underrated. The dude limits mistakes, is efficient and won’t lose you games.

The fact that Graham Mertz is waiting in the wings just puts any mistake that Coan makes under a microscope. Make no mistake about it.

Coan is a damn good football player, and the preseason hype is a reflection of that fact.

I can’t wait to see what he does this season. Will he take all the snaps? Probably not, but I have no doubt he’ll have a solid season.
