Auburn OC Philip Montgomery named top-50 quarterbacks coach in college football

Philip Montgomery brings a lot to the table for the Tigers as an offensive coordinator. Auburn is in need of some revitalizing on that side of the ball, and Montgomery seems like the man for the job alongside Hugh Freeze.

But what about Montgomery's ability to coach quarterbacks?

Big Game Boomer, a college football social media influencer and master of list creation, has put out a graphic containing his top 50 quarterback coaches in college football. The list includes head coaches who have been known in the past as very good QB coaches.

Auburn's Philip Montgomery comes in at No. 35 overall, and the No. 6 QB coach in the SEC. A little low, all things considered.

Montgomery has piloted several record-breaking offenses, one of which included a Heisman-winning quarterback to go along with several standout signal-callers over the past decade plus. Robert Griffin III, Case Keenum, Bryce Petty, just to name a few.

Could Payton Thorne or Robby Ashford be the next in line to blossom underneath Montgomery's tutelage?
