Aug. 29—CHAMPAIGN — Barry Lunney Jr. has taken a unique path when it comes to quarterback development at Illinois.
The fifth-year offensive coordinator has leaned into the idea that "it takes a village."
Lunney is one of three Illinois coaches working with four Illini quarterbacks this season. He's still involved despite handing off the quarterbacks coach ****** le to Art Sitkowski. Pass game coordinator Mike Neu is also part of the equation.
"I know that sounds probably a little bit unique that you'd want that many people coaching them, but I think it's really good for the quarterback to have a different perspective and different feedback from different people," Lunney said. "We work really well together and have clearly defined roles in how we deal with them."
