The path to head coaching job often includes working for the big boys. Charles Huff was the running backs coach at Bama before taking the Marshall job, and Butch Jones built his resume back up as analyst for Saban before taking the Arkansas St Job.
Then Terry Bowden who's been in an out of football took a grad assistant gig at Clemson and was hired at ULM.. He brought three Clemson staffers with him.

I wonder what's going on at WKU (CUSA) who tops UTenn , 21-19 in the number of players in the transfer portal, Hilltoppers coach Tyson Helton is 14-11 in two seasons.

O5 raids itself.: Arkansas State (Sunbelt) AD Terry Mohajir agreed to take the athletic director's job at UCF(AAC). Hey, but I doubt if he's bringing Butch Jones who he hired last month to be the Ark ST HC.

Looking back at the off-season O5 coaching moves. #herd are pleased with HC Huff ,and Taggart's addition of Hines Ward as FAU receivers coach is paying dividends . LaJohntay Wester FAU WR stat improvements. 
A lot of "old names" mentioned. Can't believe Terry Bowden is still wanting to coach. I need to follow Butch Jones. Curious to see how he does. Remember, he was always following Kelly before landing the TN job. Kelly was HC at Central Michigan and Cincinnati before ND.
ReplyDeleteHuff is an energetic coach. If successful, his stay will be short in Huntington.
ReplyDelete@robert, and I'm nearly certain Butch won't work at ND
