I just read an article that has Willie Fritz the Tulane coach as a possible candidate for the Colorado job. A major reason I follow D2 college football is the grind of the coaching cycle-coaches really earn their way, a lot of D1 hires stem from nepotism and or players who have played at a certain school that is why its great to see coaches who have come from D2 programs. Off the top of my head the top 3 I see are.
Willie Fritz-Head Coach Tulane- D2 School coached at- Central Missouri
Kalen Deboer-Head Coach Washington- D2 School coached at Sioux Falls (was NAIA at the time)
Jake Dickert-Head Coach Washtington State- D2 School Coached at Augustana and Minnesota State
I was wondering who you guys feel will be the next coach out of D2 to a power 5. My guess would be Brandon Morris Head Coach of Colorado School of Mines. He has really put his stamp on the program and seems to have the presence to make the move one day. Given he would most likely take a coordinater job first before head coach. Some food for thought, would be great to see some other suggestions.
