Old Dominion University Football running backs coach and special teams coordinator Charles Bankins completed his first season with the Monarchs in 2016. A 21-year coaching veteran, Bankins has coached at practically every level of football, including high school, Division I, II and the NFL. Q: How did you get into coaching?
CB: I was tricked into coaching by my high school coach. I had no desire to be a coach, I was going to be a political speech writer. My coach after my senior year of high school, he got out of coaching because he had twin daughters to take care of and then when I finished college he decided to get back into coaching and said “you’re coming with me”.
