Since the video, Lazor was hired as the OC for Philbin and the Dolphins. Then was let go when Philbin was fired even though Tannehill was signed as a Franchise QB. Unfortunately, the Bengals beat us to the punch and hired Lazor to be Andy Dalton's coach.
Listening to OB discuss all of the things that a QB has to understand about reading defenses and making good decisions and educating a QB to increase his football IQ, it seems imperative to me that we have an assigned coach whose sole responsibility is to make sure that the message/vision that the HC & OC have in mind is taught to your QB. We hear how complex this Offense is and how difficult it is to learn. We assume that a veteran QB with experience (Hoyer) might be kept on the roster to mentor his successor, but I would think that the experienced QB is more concerned about starting himself, learning the game plan and preparing to play the next game more than he would be in training someone else.
