Every coach in America.

Oh, I thought you asked me “who would want to have the quarterback situations at Alabama and Georgia?”

Neither of the reigning national championship participants have clear quarterback situations, but both are set up to have stars leading their respective teams in 2018. Anyone who denies that probably slept through the national championship and woke up ahead of the spring games on Saturday.

It’s true that neither Alabama nor Georgia had quarterbacks play like All-Americans on Saturday. Nobody “earned the job” and on the flip side nobody “cost themselves the job.”

Yeah, I’m talking to you, person who threw Jalen Hurts under the bus for having a slow start against the nation’s No. 1 defense. And yeah, that goes double for you, person who gave Georgia’s starting quarterback job to Justin Fields the second that Jake Fromm threw that pick-6 in the first half of G-Day.

Don’t get carried away. By the time opening week rolls around, the spring game will be a distant memory.

Still, spring did allow us to get looks at guys like Fields, as well as Nick Saban’s favorite third-string quarterback Mac Jones. We even learned this spring that apparently Hurts will transfer if he isn’t named the Alabama starter, at least according to his dad.

So with all of that taken into consideration, which quarterback situation would you prefer to have?

Before I dig into this, can we take a second to point out how rare this is to have both national championship participants having quarterback situations like this?

Jake Fromm is coming off a freshman season in which he took an 8-win team to a title game berth, and there are people who legitimately think that he’s not going to start on opening day. I’m not sure if that’s more of a knock on Fromm or more of a belief in Fields. Maybe both.

Make no mistake, though. I don’t think there’s any doubt that Fromm will be pushed this entire offseason by Fields, but it’ll be Fromm who is Georgia’s starting quarterback on opening day. Like Alabama with Tua Tagovailoa last year, I’d expect Georgia to have a plan in place to get Fields into games a bit earlier than usual. That’s the benefit of having a 28-point lead with an elite defense early in the second half.

There’s a decent chance that Alabama won’t have that luxury this year. If what Hurts’ father said is true, then Tagovailoa as the starter means that Alabama’s backup is Jones. I’d be pretty concerned about that possibility. It’s not that Jones was horrific on Saturday — he moved the ball through the air well against the second-team defense — but can you picture the panic of everyone in Alabama when Tagovailoa is slow to get up on any given play?

That scenario is obviously assuming that Hurts sticks to his word. What if Hurts wins the job? Well, you still have a guy with a 26-2 record as your starter. That’s great. But with all the talk about Hurts possibly transferring, that scenario would likely guarantee that Tagovailoa wouldn’t stick around in Tuscaloosa.

Shoot, there were rumors that Tagovailoa was considering transferring if he didn’t win the job last year. I doubt he sticks around if Hurts is still the guy.

That’s the thing about Alabama. I can’t see a scenario in which both Hurts and Tagovailoa are both on the roster by this time next year. Fields and Fromm, on the other hand, aren’t going anywhere in the near future.

Besides the roster depth advantage that Georgia has, let’s tackle another question. If you had to take any of those quarterbacks between Hurts, Fields, Fromm and Tagovailoa to be your guy in 2018, who would it be?

It’d be close between Tagovailoa and Fromm, but I think I’d actually take Fromm.

I know. I spent all of last season talking about how Hurts was the SEC’s No. 1 quarterback. He was. But after seeing his struggles in the passing game carry on all season, I think he has a clear weakness. Tagovailoa, on the other hand, excelled in that department with the season on the line (he was pretty good in limited work before that, too). Obviously he’s still lacking in experience. As talented as he is, he’s going to have some growing pains if he’s the starter in 2018.

Fromm still could, too. But I like the body of work we saw from him in a full season as Georgia’s starter. The nation’s ninth-most efficient passer was more than just a “game manager.” Georgia wouldn’t have overcome a 17-point deficit and won the Rose Bowl with just a “game manager” at quarterback. That’s what difference-makers do.

The expectation is that Fields will also be that difference-maker. He had what I thought was a good, not great spring game. Clearly, the talent is there, much like it was for Tagovailoa in last year’s spring game. Now, it’s Fields who will find himself as the No. 2 to a sophomore who was a play from winning a national title.

That’s not the first time you’ve heard that, nor is it the last.

We don’t know how this will play out in Athens the next couple years. But I’d feel pretty confident that for at least the next year, Georgia will have one of the nation’s most efficient passers and a guy many believe is one of the best quarterback prospects in recent memory.

We don’t know how this will play out in Tuscaloosa in the next couple months. But I’d feel pretty confident that Hurts and Tagovailoa’s days of coexisting are in the rear-view mirror.

And yes, I watched it.

Oh, I thought you asked me “did you even watch the national championship?”

That’s in the past now. Georgia’s quarterback situation is the one that I’d rather have for the future.
