This is the next big domino to fall.

With us now having a HC and an OC that don't have positional backgrounds at QB, I'm sure McDaniel is going to look for someone with experience in their system to work 1-on-1 with Tua (and whoever else is on the roster).

Anyone have any insight on who we may look at or who you realistically want?
 
they could just keep Josh Grizzard in that role.

In 2016, he worked with quarterback Daniel Jones and helped the redshirt freshman rank No. 6 in the ACC and lead all conference freshmen with 276.8 yards of total offense per game. Jones went on to be drafted sixth overall by the New York Giants in the 2019 NFL draft.
In 2015, Grizzard helped first-year starter Thomas Sirk throw for 2,625 yards and 16 touchdowns while rushing for 803 yards and eight more scores. Sirk became one of just three quarterbacks in ACC history to throw for 2,500-plus yards and rush for 800-plus yards in a single season. His 3,428 total offensive yards were second all-time in single-season school history.
The 2014 Blue Devils featured five All-ACC selections and compiled 421 total points, the second-most in school history. Quarterback Anthony Boone, the winningest quarterback in the history of Duke football, earned All-ACC honors and the team finished in the conference's top five in six offensive statistics.
Grizzard played defensive back at Yale and graduated with a degree in political science.
 
From the moves that McDaniel has made so far, I do not believe that he thinks Tua is the problem.

He brought in an OC who is known for the run game and Tight Ends, and a new OL coach who's known for teaching blocking and working with Tight Ends.

These are not the moves of a man who seems overly concerned with making major changes to the passing offense. He is concentrating on getting the running game going SO AS TO PROVIDE our passing offense with more time for routes to break open.

Is it true that Tua's whole game is short, quick passes? Or is it true that our line was so out of synch that this is all we COULD do. I'm going to argue for the latter. Yes, Tua doesn't have a huge arm, but he can go deep, he was able to do so in college, and he's been able to do so in the NFL... he just hasn't had the time, or the deep threats.

So... why confuse a young QB by changing his coach? It seems pointless to me.

His mechanics need refining. Can Frye recognize it and make it happen? He may think all’s well and focus more on other stuff, where a fresh set of eyes would notice it fairly quickly.

Could be...

Our maybe his mechanics would settle down if he wasn't constantly running for his life.

I'm not sure which way I'm going to lean here. Let's see what McD does. I will bet that he discusses it with Tua before he makes a final decision though.
 
Tua definitely had more than a few moment with bad mechanics. Partially could be the uneasiness from his terrible supporting cast, but either way, it’s definitely something he needs to work on.

Id venture a guess that most QBs have **** mechanics when plays break down and they are running for their lives.
