I like Doman and would like to see him remain on staff. He did a good job with Beck and Hall.
I give Doman credit with Beck, who really needed Doman whispering things in his ear to help his confidence.
I really don't know how much coaching/development Doman did with Hall. Hall was already pretty polished as a sophomore and over the rest of Hall's career, we really didn't see much improvement from him in areas where you'd expect a QB coach to exert a lot of influence--Hall still forced throws and his technique was never cleaned up. From an outsider's perspective, I can't tell if Hall would have played the same way regardless of who the QB coach was or if Doman developed Hall. Either explanation is equally plausible.
Beck's PER in 04 was: 128.51
Beck's PER in 05 was: 137.55
Beck's PER in 06 was: 169.05
Doman improved him every year he coached him as you can see his PER improved every year he played.
Hall's PER in 07 was: 137.71
in 08 it was: 157.21
in 09 it was: 160.13
Hall improved every year under Doman. I guess Hall was more polished as a sophomore than Beck was since he had an efficiency similar to to what Beck had as a Jr, but Beck ended up better his Sr year. Either way, They both improved dramatically under Doman from first to last year starting.
