Eddie Gran, a 30-year coaching veteran, has spent 18 seasons in the SEC and has gotten to his current position the hard way. Unless you are a quarterbacks coach or a cream of the crop recruiter, it can be very hard to get your big break. Gran, who has primarily been a running backs coach his entire career, had to wait a long time to become an offensive coordinator.
After working for Jimbo Fisher for three years at Florida State following a decade at Auburn under Tommy Tuberville, Gran finally got his break in 2013 when Tuberville accepted the head coaching position at Cincinnati.
