college football's best coaching trees.
Practice reports are that Ty has a great all around game and poise, as you may expect, since he grew up learning it all his life. Cut and paste from another site....

Simpson has more than 10 former staffers in the NFL and almost 20 at Power 5 schools.
Arguably the deepest, most expansive coaching tree in all of college football grows in one of the sport's tiniest, most rural outposts.
Martin, Tenn., is situated in the northwest no-man’s-land of the Volunteer State, closer to Caruthersville, Mo., than either Memphis or Nashville.
Head coach at Tennessee-Martin since 2006, Simpson is a four-time Eddie Robinson FCS Coach of the Year finalist, the Skyhawks’ all-time winningest coach with 107 victories.
Above all else, Simpson is a football-lifer. And the roots for so many others’ coaching careers.
“Honestly, that’s where I learned how to work and really learn the work it takes to put in a game plan in a week,” says Parker, a former Kentucky wideout with coaching stops at his alma mater, Martin, Purdue, West Virginia and Notre Dame. “He always reached out to people he trusted and found ways to find great coaches.
“I just kind of try to follow the ole Bear Bryant rule,” says Simpson, an Ellisville, Miss., native who played football at Mississippi State and baseball at Southern Miss before entering coaching. “‘Find somebody to hire who’s going to be smarter than me,” which is not hard to do. But why would I bring in someone to do something I’m capable of doing?
“What’s amazing about Jason Simpson is that he is first and foremost a play-caller. And he loves those guys and he develops young men and we’ve had very few issues, ever, with our athletes. He’s on top of it, but he is still so dedicated to watching film, breaking down film, watching other college games when he gets home on Saturday nights to see if there’s a wrinkle he wants to install.”

So many of the QBs these days in college and pro ball either had fathers who were coaches (Hurts/Burrow/Duggan/Daniels) or had professional athlete fathers (Mahomes).

Just want to see it translate on the field this spring. Ty is right where Bryce Young stood 2 years ago.

UTM has won an average of 6.5 games a year under the guy and made the playoffs twice in 16 years, never making it past the second round.
Something tells me Simpson ain't exactly Amos Alonzo Stagg.
The kid might be a good quarterback, but the prestigious coaching tree is laughable.
