15 for '15: Coordinators ready to be college head coaches
Every athletic director (and, admit it, every fan) always is on the hunt for the next great coach, and in this "15 for '15" piece, we are spotlighting 15 "hot" coordinators who could become head coaches next season. (We're not necessarily spotlighting the best coordinators, just the ones we think could become head coaches next season.) Six coordinators became head coaches this offseason: Georgia OC Mike Bobo at Colorado State, Kentucky OC Neal Brown at Troy, Ohio State OC Tom Herman at Houston, Clemson OC Chad Morris at SMU, Baylor OC Philip Montgomery at Tulsa and Michigan State DC Pat Narduzzi at Pittsburgh.
