I think we should get Mike Hohensee as our Quarterbacks coach, instead of a Wide Receiver coach.
No! Fisch needs to be working with the QBs for his own sake, and not just for the QBs. He needs to get comfortable being the OC himself, IMO, and working directly with the QBs will do more for that then with the WRs.

If Peyton wanted him coaching him at QB, then I want him coaching our QB's. We can get a WR coach. I agree with your point about him getting more comfortable as an OC that way as well.
Did Peyton Manning tell this to reporters, or are you going of off Brewster's comment?
Whose to say that alumni can't be good coaches? Hohensee's got a lot of coaching experience. I'd be more concerned with his recruiting ability than his coaching ability.What is the obsession with wanting to have old Gophers come back and coach? The Hohensee hobby horse has been ridden to death. Would you rather have a staff full of alumni, or a staff full of good coaches? I personally would rather have the latter.
I'm sure it will be considered. Fisch was an asst. QB coach at Baltimore for a few years so it isn't like he hasn't worked with QB's. I think ideally you would like the OC to work with QB's because he should have the greatest mastery of the offense and be able to communicate that to the QB. However, Oklahoma has the Passing Game Coordinator (Norvell) serve as the WR coach so it can obviously work. The benefit of having coaches that have coached multiple positions in multiple offenses is that they bring flexibility to allow the team to bring in the best possible position coach.
I think we need to look at finding a position coach that can recruit in Florida to replace what McDonald brought to the table. We picked up a lot of talented players from Florida this year (Carter, Singleton, Jacques, Keise...Ward?). Florida is the second most represented state in this class behind only Minnesota.
