Michael Locksley is a former head coach whose fortunes have changed for the better as an assistant.
As the head coach of the University of New Mexico from 2009-2011, Locksley's Lobos won only two of 28 games. As an interim head coach at the University of Maryland in 2015, Locksley's team suffered five consecutive losses before winning its season finale.
A year later, Locksley joined the University of Alabama staff as an offensive analyst, and his career has enjoyed a much more favorable outcome.
Locksley, who has since been promoted to offensive coordinator for the Crimson Tide, was named the 2018 winner of the 23rd annual Broyles Award on Tuesday at the Little Rock Marriott Hotel.
