Who’s the greatest assistant coach in canes history?

[Alien]

Someone started a thread asking about the best HC but assistant coaches I think people will have significantly different views. Schiano? Randy Shannon? Manny? Coker?

It can't be just one. It just can't. We've had some great ones. Here are 4 obvious candidates:

Butch Davis on the defensive line
Don Soldinger RBs
Art Kehoe OL (he wouldn't have been here forever if he didn't do good work for a period)
Curtis Johnson WRs

Gary Stevens offensive coordinator/qb coach.his quarterbacks led us to 4 nc.best late game offense period had two comebacks against good teams being behind 2-3 scores won one lost one in 88.
Defense tie between butch and Manny only two who actually shut down other teams.

Sonny Lubbick wipes his *** with Radio and ANY other UM DC (including Wannstadt)

A bunch of candidates so it really depends on what criteria you use to determine "greatest":

• Gary Stevens did a heck of a job as a QB guru during this time to attract top QB's here and develop them
• Wannstadt - only went on to be a successful NFL HC winning coach of the year one time I believe.
• Butch Davis - went on to build a talent loaded squad at UM as a HC along with stops in the NFL in college
• Lubbick - went on to be a very successful college HC\
• Coker - won a National Championship with us as HC and was cheated out of a second one vs Ohio State

Heck of a list of candidates so any of these picks is fine by me. Just tells you how fortunate we have been to have quality assistants and this list doesn't include some other great ones that I could argue should be listed.

You beat me to it! Sonny Lubbick has always been my favorite UM DC. He was awesome.

If he did, he'd know it was spelled Lubick.

But he's not wrong.

You should really look up some UM history from before 2005
