Former football assistants to become Head Coaches?

[CAJUNJUDO]

With the projected announcement of Will Hall to become the Head Coach at Southern Miss, this got me thinking about what other former football assistants have become the main man?

I know of a few:
Blake Anderson —> Arkansas State
Tim Rebowe —> Nicholls State
Brian Jenkins —> Bethune Cookman
Terry Sims —> Bethune Cookman
Will Hall —> Southern Miss

Still hoping for the Head Coach to move on to become a Head Coach at a bigger school. This is the only one I believe:
Mark Hudspeth —> Austin Peay

Interesting topic.

I'm drawing a blank this early in the morning.

Some NFL hires but as assistants

Austin Peay isn't bigger than UL.

Not counting this, just asking, was Ragin' Cajun Joe DeForest ever a grad assistant here?

So far he has been an associate HC.

Correct, it's about the size of Tech.

However, if notoriety is what makes you bigger, Hud doubled the 'bigness' of Austin Peay.

Broderick Fobbs at Grambling was a GA under Bustle

I stated that I’m still HOPING for the head coach to move on to a bigger school. Maybe I should have phrased it as “a head coach” but regardless I never said Austin Peay was bigger. Only that Hud is the only former head coach to get another head coaching position at a college.

I think anyone that follows this board knows that Austin Peay is smaller. I couldn’t even tell you what state it was located in before Hud went there.
