The term “quarterback guru” gets thrown around a lot in college football. Some former players, most notably George Whitfield, have made a career out of being a hired quarterback coach, working with college and professional players alike. Plenty of full-time college coaches have built sterling reputations for their work with quarterbacks as well.

The SEC has plenty of accomplished offensive coaches, but here we’re highlighting a few who stand out as the best at working with quarterbacks.

Cam Cameron, LSU — Cameron’s reputation stems mostly from his career at the professional level. In more than 10 years as an NFL offensive coordinator, he worked with a slew of All-Pro passers: Drew Brees, Philip Rivers and Joe Flacco are all former Cameron pupils. At the college level, he also coached Antwaan Randle El, who lit it up as Indiana’s quarterback before starring as a wide receiver in the NFL. In his first year at LSU, Cameron inherited Zach Mettenberger and two star receivers, building one of the most prolific offenses in LSU history. While his reputation took a hit thanks to LSU’s struggles throwing the ball a season ago, improvement out of the Tigers quarterbacks would restore the belief that he is an excellent quarterbacks coach.

Dan Mullen, Mississippi State — It took him a few years, but Mullen has finally returned to the national spotlight with a deadly dual-threat quarterback. Mullen’ career took off during his days as an offensive coordinator for Urban Meyer, who is pretty good working with quarterbacks in his own right. Mullen was Meyer’s OC at Utah, when Alex Smith led the team to a BCS bowl and went on to become the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NFL draft. Mullen moved with Meyer to Florida, where he worked with some pretty good players as well: Chris Leak and Tim Tebow. These days, he has Dak Prescott as one of the most dangerous dual-threat passers in the country.

Steve Spurrier, South Carolina — Spurrier certainly knows a thing or two about playing quarterback. You don’t need to be reminded that he won a Heisman as Florida’s quarterback in the 1960s. Spurrier also coached a Heisman winner of his own, Danny Wuerffel, as the Gators rolled to the 1996 national championship. The Gators put up prolific offensive numbers during Spurrier’s tenure, in large part thanks to his work with his passers. At South Carolina, his greatest success came with a QB who wasn’t the kind of downfield passer he had at Florida, but instead with a running passer in Connor Shaw. He did put together a very impressive offense in 2014 with a more classic quarterback, Dylan Thompson. While he’s known to keep his passers on a short leash, there’s no questioning Spurrier’s abilities even as he enters the twilight of his career.

Jake Spavital, Texas A&M — The Aggies offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach is still young, but he’s already got a few notable disciples on his resume. At West Virginia, he worked with Geno Smith, who set the Big East single-season pass yardage mark in his final season on campus. Smith was considered a good bet to go early in the first round in 2013 and unexpectedly slid to the second round. With Texas A&M, Spavital has already worked with one Heisman winner, Johnny Manziel, and had Kenny Hill in the conversation early last fall. A former college quarterback himself, Spavital played a big role in securing commitments from current start Kyle Allen as well as incoming five-star signee Kyler Murray.
