![]() ![]() Coach O won national title rings with Miami, USC and Pete Carroll, and at LSU as the Tigers head coach. Coach O, who coined The Rock’s famous phrase, “Know your role and shut your mouth,” went on to do some coaching of his own. The defensive line coach under Coach E was one Ed Orgeron. Lubick worked with the ‘Canes defensive backs which feature future Bengal Darryl Williams, All-American Ryan McNeil, Bobby Harden, NFL record holder Robert Bailey, and hard hitters Casey Grier and Terris Harris. The ‘Canes lost four games in four seasons with Lubick as DC. ![]() Those defenses ranked 1st in scoring twice (‘89, ‘91) and 5th and 8th in the nation on the off years. Lubick’s defenses allowed 10.6, 15.3, 8.3, and 13.4 points per game from 1989 through ‘92. Lubick coached dominating defenses at Miami that produced Outland Trophy winners, first overall draft picks, and future All Pro NFL linebackers from 1989-1992. Lubick was a versatile coach who had been an OC and a DC, before his successful run at Colorado State as a head coach. Erickson brought in fellow PNW’er Sonny Lubick from Stanford.

While Soldinger went back to the high school ranks, Art Kehoe stayed on board at UM at assistant OL Coach. Erickson cleared out Johnson’s offensive staff holdovers for his own people from the pacific northwest, but kept some of the peripheral players around for continuity. We’ve discussed JJ’s coaching staff from ‘87, and Schnelly’s from 1983, now let’s take a look at the ‘91 staff from Erickson’s second championship as leader of the ‘Canes.ĭennis Erickson was no slouch at putting together a formidable coaching staff, either. They’re recruiters, teachers (literally, multiple guys on staff are former high school teachers and coaches) and more importantly professionals that command a room. Cristobal’s staff has Broyles Award winning assistants and former Power 5 head coaches on board.
