Hiring a 25 year old ex QB to be quality control on defense strikes me as odd, at least on the surface.

He’s likely just trying to get into coaching and took what was available. QC coaches do a lot of dirty work, doesn’t matter what position they played.

While it struck me as odd at first, too, this is likey an entry-level position that involves a lot of administrative work, so it might not matter that much whether it's on offense or defense.  I'm just speculating, but maybe "quality control" means making sure that practice and meeting schedules are posted, that a certain number of reps occurred in practice, etc.

 

EDIT:  While I was writing this, someone posted that quality control coaches watch a lot of film and help create playbooks.

Get a foot in the door, work hard and prove yourself. Baby steps.

However, the QCC doesn't really do much coaching at all. They spend all day multitasking, breaking down film up to five weeks in advance and analyzing data. They work all hours, in hotel lobbies, on airplanes and at their team's headquarters producing reports for their Head Coach. They do get to do some coaching though. The QC coaches often run the "Scout" team in practices. From their extensive film work and breaking down plays, the QCC can be a great help preparing their team because they know the tendencies of their opponents. They make sure the Scout teams give the starters an accurate look at what they'll face on Sunday in practice during game weeks.

Little known fact:  The bribe money spent on these guys is the third highest line item for Bill Belichick’s black ops budget.
