Mickey mentioned in his article that Chryst maybe going to the Charger at THEIR new qb coach with Norv Turner when the Cowboys have already offered him the same job here. It is without question that the cowboys need a qb coach and to have Garrett handle coordinator duties, play calling, and qb coaching all in his first stint is a little too much for the young lad. I know he is a princeton grad but....
So if Chryst does take the Chargers job the we may hire their own qb coach John Ramsdell. Here is a little info on him because remember Phillips was on thier staff last season so he may want to hire someone who has experience and has had some success. Hell he looks like a better hire than Chryst!
John Ramsdell
Quarterbacks
12th NFL Season, 1st with Chargers
John Ramsdell joins the Chargers this season in time to oversee the development of Philip Rivers, who is expected to take the reigns as the team’s starting quarterback in 2006.
Ramsdell arrives from the St. Louis Rams, where he served as quarterbacks coach from 1999-2002 and from 2004-05. In six seasons with Ramsdell as quarterbacks coach, the Rams led the league in passing three times (1999-2001) and ranked no lower than fifth in passing offense including ranking second in 2002, fifth in 2004 and fourth in 2005.
Last season, starting quarterback Marc Bulger finished the year as the league’s fifth-leading passer, despite missing eight games due to a shoulder injury. Under Ramsdell’s direction, Bulger recorded three of the top six passing games in team history.
Ramsdell also tutored two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Kurt Warner during the Rams’ two Super Bowl appearances including a victory over Tennessee in Super Bowl XXXIV. With Ramsdell as his quarterbacks coach, Warner played in three Pro Bowls. Wide receiver Torry Holt also went to the Pro Bowl after the 2003 season with Ramsdell as his position coach.
Ramsdell spent a total of 11 seasons with the Rams, coaching quarterbacks, tight ends, H-backs and wide receivers. He and strength and conditioning coach Chris Clausen were the only coaches to remain with the Rams during the team’s first 11 seasons in St. Louis.
Ramsdell is a veteran of 19 seasons as a coach on the collegiate level. In 12 seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Oregon, the Ducks played in four bowl games including the 1995 Rose Bowl after winning the Pac-10 Conference championship in 1994.
Ramsdell was born Aug. 16, 1954 in Lafayette, Indiana. He graduated from Manheim Township High School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts and a master’s degree from San Francisco State. Ramsdell played running back in both high school and college. He and his wife, Brenda, have a son, Christopher, and a daughter, Amy.
