Coaches with ISU Connections

[wartknight]

I'm sure this has been done before but does anyone have a list of college/pro football coaches (head and assistants) with ISU connections?
Off the top of my head-
Johnny Majors
Earle Bruce
Jimmy Johnson
Pete Carroll
Dave McCartney
Tony Alford

I searched and couldn't find this so if its been done before, feel free to merge.

Completely forgot about him.
I suppose I need to add Gene Chizik to the list.

Paul Rhoads was an assistant at ISU and I believe he went on to become a head coach somewhere.

Can't think of his name for some reason but the old Ohio State coach also (after Earl Bruce).

I can't find a reference to it, but seem to remember that Jackie Sherrill was on Majors staff. Can anybody confirm/deny?

Yes...in 1968 where he served as an assistant under Majors.
From 1970-72, he was ISU's assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.

Looking at some old media guides I saved, also add Joe Bugel, former Raiders & Cardinals head coach

Steve Loney

Cardinals and Viking Offensive coordinator.

He was his right hand man.

That's what I thought - I could only find reference to Sherrill being an assistant to Majors at Pitt before WSU (and his subsequent return to Pitt as head man.)

 

[JJ4ISU]

Larry Coyer served as ISU's D-Coordinator from 1979-82 and again from 1995-96. He is currently the Defensive Coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts.

Darrell Bevell, offensive coordinator for the Minn. Vikings, was ISU's QB Coach in the late '90s before he joined the Packers staff in 2000.

A bit of a stretch, but...
Joe Avezzano (1969-72 @ ISU), Special Teams with Dallas Cowboys & Oakland Raiders, Head Coach of Dallas Desperados
