Former Canes Players as Coaches

[RocketsandCanes]

I have a favor to ask from you all. Over the next however many years it takes me I'm going to be attending a whole lot of CFB games with a few friends in hopes to eventually go to every D1 Football stadium. I read an article in SI about a guy who was working his way through them all a few years back and i realized immediately that it was something I wanted to do. I started last year and found that while I really like seeing the stadiums/campuses themselves, I watched a lot of really bad football games. That being said, I've been looking for ways to add interest to some of the match-ups I'm not as excited for. So I'm hoping to compile a list of former Canes players who are now coaching at other D1 (both FBS and FCS) schools. It gives me a bit of a rooting interest in random match-ups. I figured this would be the best place to start instead of reading through every single team's website. I listed a few off the top of my head but I will update this post with all of your additions. Thanks!

Of course, how could I forget. **** he may even be another reason to root against UF. Not that I need any additional reasons.

Speaking of UM alums coaching at the JUCO level...
this guy was on Jimmy Johnson's UM teams during the 1980s, and has become one of the more respected JUCO
coaches in California.
