How Dowell Loggains plans to develop South Carolina quarterbacks
By Joe Macheca
New South Carolina offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains was not only brought in to call plays but also to coach quarterbacks.
Loggains has a long history of coaching quarterbacks in the NFL. In his time in Chicago, he helped Jay Cutler have one of the best seasons of his career. He was around guys like Matt Hassleback, Kerry Collins, and Vince Young.
“I think it’s finding what they do best and making it better,” Loggains said. “I do think the advantage of coming from the NFL is that you learn a lot from quarterbacks that you coached.”

Loggains’ approach to coaching the position falls in line with everything that Shane Beamer is preaching.
“You work together with them, you’re not telling them. It’s not a dictatorship,” Loggains said. “I love coaching quarterbacks because I love the fundamentals of it, I love the intangibles that come with it. I think you can make a huge difference on people who are willing to work.”
It all starts with the intangibles. Then Loggains start sharpening the mental aspect of a quarterback’s game. When evaluating potential recruits, Loggains is looking for toughness.
“I think with young people one of the biggest things that stick out, especially in today’s age of transfer portal, instant gratification, and all those things are emotional stability,” Loggains said. “You want a kid that’s emotionally tough, that’s been through hard things in their life because most time if you’ve been through hard things, you’re willing to stick things out because you know everything in life is hard.”
