DWinzit Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Good luck Gus! Former Vikings, Rams, and Redskins QB Gus Frerotte has taken the head coaching position at a St. Louis-area high school. He was John Burroughs Prep QBs coach for the past two seasons while hoping for a call from the NFL. His retirement is now official. Frerotte, 39, finished his 15-year career with a 114:106 TD-to-INT ratio and solid 6.9 yards per attempt average, but a 45-47-1 record. A former Redskins seventh-round pick, Frerotte may be best remembered for outplaying No. 3 overall pick Heath Shuler when both were rookies in 1994. Frerotte made the Pro Bowl in 1996.

I think I'm going to disagree here and say he's best remembered for this: Nevertheless, good luck Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 You can never start too early to learn how to give yourself a concussion, that's what I always say :yes:...Kids today don't even know how to give themselves a good concussion. Why, when I was a kid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Right on, Gus. He was just before my time, but I know he's known for the "head bump" and outplaying Heath Shuler to get the starters job in D.C. From what I understand, he even had some pretty good years with us.

"Outplaying Heath Shuler" lol...there were very few QBs who did not outplay Shuler, unfortunately. I always liked Gus, hope he does well ..

Did you end that thought abruptly because you can't remember your childhood from all the concussion, or because you forgot the question because you have one right now, or both?

GhostofSparta Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 By the way, fun bit of trivia: Ford City High School, where I teach, is the same one that Gus attended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 And if he acts fast he may be able to hire former Redskins coach Jim Zorn as his QB coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I still have my "In Gus We Trust" t-shirt that he signed. He came out of Pennsylvania and we had high hopes for him when he came to the Redskins. Several good quarterbacks had come from the same region in Pennsylvania and gone on to do well in the NFL.

DWinzit Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 "Outplaying Heath Shuler" lol...Shuler's name still brings the taste of puke to my mouth. To me he was the biggest disappointment in Redskin history......And don't think you're far behind him Spurrier you **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdigle Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Good for him, man. I felt so bad for him when he had to come back to Washington to face the 'Skins in the 2000 playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Good for Gus. What a great success story...a 7th round afterthought draft pick who carved out a 15 year career as an NFL quarterback. Seriously, how many journeyman quarterbacks last 15 years in the NFL? If he managed his money right he should be set for life financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 In retrospect -- that 1994 draft was pretty bad, top-to-bottom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
