It's clear that Jerry Neuheisel will one day make a great football coach.

In fact, he's already got a head start this season, what with helping true freshman Josh Rosen learn the intricacies of the Bruins' offense. That Neuheisel was so helpful might have been a double-edge sword, since it was Neuheisel's veteran leadership that helped Rosen land the starting quarterback role.

"He's a big part of the reason why I won the job, because he is such a selfless guy and he has the team's best interest in mind, not just his own," Rosen said via The Associated Press.
