with Coan. [sigh] If that's what Angeli brings ...
19. QB JACK COAN, WISCONSIN → NOTRE DAME
Coan missed the 2020 season due to injury, later deciding to transfer to Notre Dame after it was clear he wasn’t getting his job back from Graham Mertz, the No. 3-ranked pro-style quarterback in 2019.
Despite playing in a difficult-to-execute offense at Wisconsin in 2019, Coan played fairly well. He produced a 77.0 grade for the season, and the Badgers put together the third-most efficient passing attack in the Big Ten. Coan displayed great underneath accuracy, something head coach Paul Chryst needed in his offense (7.5 average depth of target was the lowest in the conference).
Coan's deep ball, however, was far too errant. There were several instances of him getting overconfident and forcing deep shots that weren’t there. Exactly 20% of his 20-plus yard throws were deemed turnover-worthy that year, the worst rate in the Power Five.
Downfield passing was a concern throughout Ian Book’s 2020 campaign, and the same is likely true with Coan leading the way. All indications point to him being about the same kind of passer as Book.
