SALT LAKE CITY — It’s always good to go home, right?
That’s the premise of an angleSports Illustrated took while evaluating the success of college football coaches who returned to lead their alma maters.
“While it can certainly be a valuable asset, alumni status doesn’t always equal success. Entering 2019, 16 FBS schools are coached by an alum; five finished in the AP Top 25 last season,” SI’s Laken Litman wrote. “It’s one of the more high risk/high reward opportunities in the college football coaching carousel.”
BYU’s Kalani Sitake and Utah State’s Mike Wells were among the coaches evaluated in this interesting piece.
