Former football assistants to become Head Coaches?

[HoustonCajun]

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.

Didn't Bustle move on to an asst position somewhere?

Shawn Quinn is currently the head coach at Savannah State University. He was a defensive assistant under Coach Bustle '02-'07.

Trivia: Gerald Broussard took Shawn Quinn's place.

Quinn was also the assistant who in 2005 called an inadvertent timeout, which cost UL a win, an outright conference championship, and a bowl appearance.

Yes, Bustle was an assistant at Tulane and USM and then at NC A&T in Greensboro. The problem at both Tulane as the QB coach and USM as the RB coach, was that he was on the staffs of Lame Duck Coaches. He was with Bob Toledo who was fired at the end of that season after going 2-11 and then he was with Ellis Johnson at USM who ended up going 0-12. He moved on to NC A&T as the OC where he was having really good success, but I think he was having some health issues and decided not to coach after that if I am not mistaken.

Brad Bustle is at Valpo, I think.

Brad Bustle is at Valpo, I think.

He is the OL Coach at Valpo after spending a few years at various other schools.
