Tell me who's coaching career started like this -
"at Columbia where he served as
secondary and
special teams coach for the freshman team. The next year he was outside linebackers and strong safeties coach for the varsity team. In 1992 he went to the University of New Hampshire as the
running backs coach. He left to become the
defensive coordinator at the
Johns Hopkins University for one season. He returned to his alma mater as the running backs coach for the next three seasons (1994–96)."
What if then told you -
" He was promoted to offensive coordinator at
some small university (1999–2006). The offenses averaged better than 400 yards per game of
total offense in seven of his eight seasons
[4] and more than 30 points per game in his final four seasons.
In 2004, the school broke 29 offensive school records; compiling 5,446 yards of total offense and scoring 40 or more points in seven games. Their best offensive output was in 2005 when the W's finished second nationally in total offense (493.5 ypg), third in scoring (41.7 ppg) and fifth in passing (300.1 ypg). They completed the season with an 11–2 record.
He was named the College Assistant Coach of the Year by the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston following the 2005 season in addition to being selected as “one of college football’s hottest coaches” by American Football Monthly."
Got a guess yet?
Chip Kelly. Started as a D guy and had some of the most prolific offenses ever.
Give me young, inventive and energetic. The ME coach has it.
