Jake Bentley will never know his new quarterbacks coach as well as he knew his old one, but South Carolina’s junior quarterback and his new position coach are getting comfortable with each other.
“I think the big thing is having a relationship outside of football,” Bentley said of rapport with first-year quarterbacks coach Dan Werner.
Werner was hired in June to take the quarterbacks coaching job vacated when Kurt Roper was fired in December. South Carolina running backs coach Bobby Bentley, Jake’s dad, coached the quarterbacks and his son in bowl practice and in the Jan. 1 Outback Bowl.
