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 :jimlad:
Tony Alford

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

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

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.

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.
