Posted December 11, 20177 yr No using Google to find the answer What four current FBS head coaches never played college football?
December 12, 20177 yr Hugh Freeze didn’t but not sure he counts....I don’t think Cutcliffe did if I remember right from when he was at ole miss
December 12, 20177 yr Author So far, we have three correct answers: Dave Cutcliffe, Paul Johnson, and Mike Leach Just one more to go...
December 12, 20177 yr Total guess...Clay Helton or Mark Dantonio. Figured it had to be one of ND’s rivals.
December 12, 20177 yr Total guess...Clay Helton or Mark Dantonio. Figured it had to be one of ND’s rivals. I believe Dantonio played for the Gamecocks.
December 12, 20177 yr I had to Google to see if Kelly ever played ball, didn't know he did. If you Google "Did Brian Kelly play football" the picture it brings up is freaking priceless.
December 12, 20177 yr Pat Fitzgerald....he played at Northwestern...which can't be considered college ball...can it?
December 12, 20177 yr Author Total guess...Clay Helton or Mark Dantonio. Figured it had to be one of ND’s rivals. Clay Helton played QB at Auburn and Houston
December 12, 20177 yr I had to Google to see if Kelly ever played ball, didn't know he did. If you Google "Did Brian Kelly play football" the picture it brings up is freaking priceless. I believe Kelly played LB at a small school...Assumption or something equally religious sounding
December 12, 20177 yr I believe Kelly played LB at a small school...Assumption or something equally religious sounding Yeah I saw that, what gave me a chuckle was the accompanying picture when I searched was one of the purple face images. It also looked like someone took the time to do a mashup of him and Jimmy Johnson, they might share some DNA (And nothing else).
December 12, 20177 yr Pat Fitzgerald....he played at Northwestern...which can't be considered college ball...can it? Yah not like they ever walked into Notre Dame Stadium and beat a highly favoured Irish team....
December 13, 20177 yr Yah not like they ever walked into Notre Dame Stadium and beat a highly favoured Irish team.... I think they won the big10 that year eh? I can not wait for that re-match.. I was so pissed in '14 when these kids gave up after the ASU game and lost to Louisville and NW. I hope Brian Kelly hangs 50 on the Wildcats next year.
December 13, 20177 yr Author Chip Kelly Sorry, Chip Kelly played DB at the University of New Hampshire
December 13, 20177 yr Is Sonny Dykes still coach at Cal? Think I heard he never played football. He will be coaching SMU next year; SMU's former coach was hired by Arkansas. But I have no idea if Dykes played football or not.
December 13, 20177 yr Author With Sonny Dykes getting hired by SMU, he became the fifth active head coach never to play college football. (Dykes played baseball at Texas Tech) So far we have four of the five: Sonny Dykes, Dave Cutcliffe, Paul Johnson, and Mike Leach We are missing the last one. Guesses that are not right: Chip Kelly played DB at the University of New Hampshire Clay Helton played QB at Auburn and Houston Brian Kelly played at Assumption Dantonio played for the Gamecock
