When the talking point of who is the worst quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl comes up at the water cooler or at the lunch table, Trent Dilfer’s name often gets mentioned.
Whether that is fair to Dilfer or not, it’s just the fact of the matter. The 2000 Baltimore Ravens had a dominant defense, one of the best in league history, and Dilfer ended up starting only because of Tony Banks’ ineptitude at the position.
Since then it’s been a long road for Dilfer to getting onto the Razorbacks’ radar. After a stint with ESPN and following the Hugh Freeze-approved route of coaching a private high school in Tennessee, he was given the keys to the UAB football program after Bill Clark resurrected it following its shuddering in 2014.
