It’s an experience Bill Belichick has had countless times, but former New England Patriots wide receiver Deion Branch lived it out for the first time Saturday at Fenway Park.
Making his college coaching debut with his alma mater, Branch guided the Louisville Cardinals to a 24-7 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats in the inaugural Wasabi Fenway Bowl at the famed ballpark.
it was a unique situation for Branch, who was Louisville’s director of player development and alumni relations for the past year, but took over in an interim role after former Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield recently left the program to take over at Cincinnati.
