What about Chad Morris? HC at SMU?

Edit...I am assuming he played for us, but may have just gone to A&M.

I wasn't sure about S&C, but sure.

Still curious if anyone knows of others. Googling did not reveal all the ones I have listed so far.

Add a time stamp to your edits (i.e., 'as of 4/15/2016'), this is worth keeping around.

JORDAN PETERSON PROMOTED TO DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- University of New Mexico head football coach Bob Davie has announced that Jordan Peterson has been promoted to defensive coordinator. Kevin Cosgrove, who has spent the past five seasons as defensive coordinator, will continue as the team's linebacker coach. Peterson, who joined UNM for the 2017 season after coaching at Fresno State, has been the teams' safeties coach the last two seasons.

"Obviously, defensively things didn't go as well as we wanted last year. It's all of us involved. It's not one person to blame nor is it one person that will solve it all. To address the problems, Jordan gives us our best option to become better on defense" said Davie. "I feel like he's a rising star in this profession. His energy, his knowledge, his relationship with players, I feel like he's really a bright, young coach."

I've thought about that but really don't know where to begin. For college and pro coaches, I can usually find their bio pages with google search terms, although Graduate Assistants don't always come up that way unless someone names them (thanks for the Reggie Chevis tip, String).

I've included some past coaches before, but just looked at current coaches this time.

Time for a longer update. For now:

Went to the UH/Grambling game today and, reading the program noticed that Archie McDaniel is the LB coach for Houston after a stint at Texas State.

https://uhcougars.com/news/2021/2/2/football-archie-mcdaniel-named-houstons-linebackers-coach.aspx

For some reason l always remember McDaniel from those weird years during the transition from RC to Fran when the defensive guys didn't really get to be a part of the glory years of the Wrecking Crew but he still came out to play.

Hope he does well at UH.

As a courtesy to those who are interested in former players returning to coach, I'm updating and bumping this list to help you start your search with former players who are actually coaching. Probably missing some younger guys, and omitting those who seem to have moved on to life after football. Or to the heavenly afterlife (R.I.P. Coach Price).

Feel free to make additions or corrections.

Hire Away, boys!
