Bumped. GO BRUINS. -N
In light of Coach Neuheisel rounding out his staff with the hiring of 13-year NFL veteran Tim Hauck as secondary coach, I compiled a list of total overall NFL experience among the coaching staffs of the Pac-10. Here is that list, cross posted from my comment on the diary noting the hiring:
-
UCLA: 70 years total (24 years playing, 46 years coaching)
-
Stanford: 58 years (24 playing, 34 coaching)
-
USC: 50 total (21 playing, 29 coaching)
-
Washington: 38 total (8 playing, 30 coaching)
-
Arizona State: 32 total (3 playing, 29 coaching)
-
Cal: 13 total (7 playing, 6 coaching)
-
Oregon State: 13 total (1 playing, 12 coaching)
-
Washington State: 13 total (13 playing, 0 coaching)
-
Oregon: 6 total (0 playing, 6 coaching)
- Arizona: 4 total (3 playing, 1 coaching)
-Wayne Moses trained as an FBI agent.
-Reggie Moore worked as a paramedic and fire fighter for 8 years.
-Over half of USC's years come from Pete Carroll and Ken Norton.
-Oregon State features a Graduate Assistant with 29 years experience in High School sports.
-Much of Arizona State's experience comes from the coaches who have traveled with Dennis Erickson around football.
-Oregon State probably had the most experience in the other forms of professional football (excluding the USC form, that is).
A little of my methodology:
-Taken from official bios on school web sites, and, at times, wikipedia.
-Totals do not include the many (many, many) years spent playing/coaching in Canada, USFL, Europe, or Arena Football.
-Totals also do not include time spent in NFL intern programs.
-I was sporadic in some of my counting of playing years, and team sites weren't always clear about whether or not a coach had actually been on a roster during the season.
-Totals do include Graduate Assistants.
