Report: Kevin Rogers To Accept Temple QB Coach Position

According to a report in the Philadelphia Inquirer, former Boston College offensive coordinator Kevin Rogers has accepted the quarterbacks coach position on Steve Addazio's Temple staff.
"Sources have confirmed an OwlScoop report that former Boston College offensive coordinator Kevin Rogers will be joining the Owls staff. He'd spent the previous five seasons as the QB coach with the Minnesota Vikings, where he worked with Brett Favre."
You couldn't have scripted a more bizarre ending to this story.
Rogers, who took a medical leave of absence just two games into his stint as Boston College's offensive coordinator and was not retained on this year's staff, is now working with Ryan Day, Temple's new co-offensive coordinator. As BC's WR coach, Day was passed over (at least) three times by BC for the Eagles' offensive coordinator position, first by Gary Tranquill, then by Kevin Rogers, Dave Brock and finally Doug Martin.
Earlier today, Spaz told HD that there was nothing more to the departures of Brock, Day and Sirmans than career opportunities, as Brock and Day wanted to be offensive coordinators. Spaz added that Kevin Rogers "never returned from his leave of absence for health reasons."
So ... Rogers never returned to BC for health reasons, but now is going from offensive coordinator at BC to quarterbacks coach at Temple. Though Temple and BC's football programs are seemingly going in opposite directions, this move is not a career advancement.
I, for one, am happy to see that Rogers' medical issues are now behind him as he continues his career working with Ryan Day, Addazio and the Owls quarterbacks. Best of luck to Rogers at Temple.

This is insanity!
There’s clearly a lot more going on here than any of us are aware of.
I hope the details surface someday.
Never

I’m not referring to his medical condition (although if it ever surfaced that the condition was made up that would be another story). I’m referring to everything that’s transpired over the past few years. All of these coaching moves etc. I’d imagine its been a pretty chaotic scene.

And I’d assume there are a lot of stories we don’t know about. We obviously only here what is reported.

Ask Spaz about his illness. He might have a lot to do with it.

I would love to be a fly on the wall of Spaz’ office. I bet it would get pretty entertaining.

I wouldn’t. Who wants to watch an old guy take naps?

Pretty Bad Stuff If Anyone Cared
The closeness in time of Herzlich’s illness and then what looks very much like GDF and Spaz being dishonest about a medical condition is pretty unfortunate.
If anyone was watching this it would be a huge deal.
I’d hope the administrators of a program that just had national attention to the plight of a player recovering from a serious illness would not then create the illusion of a serious illness to protect themselves from criticism.

He’s saying that if anyone ever faked an Illness, that’s wrong in itself. Seeing Mark was sick at the time you’d have to have some serious balls to do something like that. Let’s not jump to conclusions and assume that he faked the illness. I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy had blood pressure through the rough because of the stresses he was dealing with. Who knows, but let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.
Back and leg problems
“Rogers’s health issues are legitimate; back and leg problems hampered him throughout the summer. Losing the first two games just added to his angst.”

I never thought I’d see the day where Brian post a link to a Schlabach piece without a reference to how he’s Gene’s puppet or flat-out mocking him.
Well let it be known that I (and the rest of the universe) prefer anti-Blauds Brian. I know he’ll be back soon.
What I meant was … wanted to show that in print, Rogers health issues were related to his back and leg problems, not blood pressure.
Here’s our post from back then. A lot of differing accounts and information out there.

To further back that up, I was just throwing Blood Pressure out there as a hypothetical scenario, it wasn’t based on anything I had heard or read.
I think its weird that he left for back and leg problems, as severe back problems typically don’t clear up this quickly. They either tend to be chronic or require a surgery which then requires an extensive recovery. I guess we’ll never know for sure.

Wait….
He already lives in the 9th Floor Lockdown, so how is this disrespecting his privacy?
I love talking through my third person schizoid alias.
Jane was suppossed to visit me and me and me and take us for a day trip at the Zoo, but last time. lets just say I had some issues with the way the some of the animals were looking at me.
I mean they were staring!!
Okay....
so when do existing players start jumping ship? If Montell is returning, I predict Williams or Kimble are gone. There’s a good reason why BC couldn’t recruit a RB. It’s called crowded backfield. My next guest would be one of the QBs.
