The BBN patiently waited to hear the news that Eddie Gran had been hired as the new offensive coordinator, but nobody knew that he’d being a quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator with him. There’s only two things we really know about Gran’s righthand man, Darin Hinsaw:
◾He’s a quarterback coach from the University of Cincinnati.
◾He has a smirk/grin that makes most feel uneasy.

We need to know more about Coach Grinshaw Hinshaw than what’s put on the picture from the UK Press Release, so I spent the day doing a little research. Here’s a short list of what I was able to come up with.

— He has four children and is at least 43 years old (his age is in zero biographical information, but I found out that he was 23 in an Orlando Sentinel article from 10 years ago, during his AFL playing days).

— Hinshaw ended his career at UCF as the best to ever play Quarterback. Before Blake Bortles had his girlfriend “worth a thousand Googles” and a Fiesta Bowl victory for the Knights, Hinshaw was the best QB in UCF school history. He threw for 9,000 yards and 82 touchdowns in his career, leading UCF to the I-AA playoffs in 1993.

— He was a Cleveland Brown…for four days. Unfortunately, it was not during Tim Couch’s time like I had hoped, it was actually during a worse time in the ugly history of the Cleveland Browns. Hinshaw participated in a 4-day minicamp before the ’95 season – the Browns’ last before moving to Baltimore – before being released by the organization. He would play in Canada and the AFL for a few years before taking his talents to the sideline as a coach.

— All of the places he’s coached: UCF, Middle Tennessee, Georgia Southern, Memphis, Tennessee and Cincinnati. This will be his fourth job serving as a co-offensive coordinator, if you count “passing game coordinator,” his title for the last three years at UC. He’s primarily coached quarterbacks, with a few years coaching wide receivers as well.

— He’s pretty smart. Hinshaw received his undergraduate degree in only three years and completed his MBA in one year after his AFL days were done. Some might not think it’s a big deal, but after spending nearly six years in undergrad, I can appreciate his scholastic savvy.

He’s been to Commonwealth Stadium Before

He has a good resume that for sure.
