First reported by Mike Casazza at EerSports.com, Travis Trickett is expected to become the offensive coordinator for the USF Bulls. The hiring is a chain reaction to the chaos that is the college football coaching carosel. Jeff Lebby, formely the Ole Miss quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, moves to Oklahoma, opening a spot. Charlie Weis Jr leaves South Florida to replace Jeff Lebby, so Trickett now leaves WVU to fill Weis’ spot.
Trickett, the brother of former West Virginia quarterback, Clint Trickett and son to former coach Rick Trickett, has worked his way up the coaching ladder ever since he first started as a student assistant at WVU from 2003-2007.
