- Went to see him play, lights out arm & very fast. 1 year HS starter tho, last game Nov 2019. [NT] - ND521 - 11:07pm 1/14/21
- Coan will start. I think he will be better than Book. I'd like a limited RPO and Zone Read package - tky21 - 10:04pm 1/14/21
  - And as a postscript, let me say I am grateful we had Book...mean him no disrespect. But we would - tky21 - 10:14pm 1/14/21
- Coan uses the middle of the field a lot based on the videos I've seen - ND_in_DRO - 12:53pm 1/14/21
  - At 6’3”, I believe he is taller than any ND QB since Rees. Maybe he can see over the OL [NT] - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 7:49pm 1/14/21
    - He reminds me of a taller Rees (didn't check Rees height). Not very mobile, weak arm, pretty good. [NT] - oldirish - 12:02am 1/15/21
