Top assistants of NCAA powerhouse football programs

for shits and giggles, a couple names.


Brent Venables is a hot name, considering that the other defensive names are related (Mike Stoops). Jeff Brohm is getting some press lately, because Louisville is such a hot O and because coordinator Paul Petrino is Bobby's brother, but Brohm doesn't have a ton of experience and is more of a coordinator prospect. In the end, the more likely situation is that Brohm only moves around if Petrino doesn't within the next few years.
There's Rick Trickett, the line coach at WV, who's really getting a lot of press as an offensive mind.

Jim Leavitt is a good smaller-college coach that's on his way up. There are other guys, like Kragthorpe in Tulsa, who signed extensions very recently, that aren't really huge candidates to move.

 

Old Skippy was good at UConn. His father put him at OC @ USC...but didn't let him run HIS offense. It was really a shame. He got screwed in that deal.

I think he could get things going in Pirate country.

 

I don't think he's that good, but he wasn't a god awful disaster like I was expecting. The defensive coordinator needs to be fired post haste, however.

 

The bettors love them. I took them a bunch late last year and opening week at Navy. I thought they might sneak into a bowl this year, but after opening 0-2 I don't think so now. Really needed one of those.
