Up next in our “Coach ’em Up” series, we have linebackers coach Frank Bush.
The Athens, Georgia native was a three-year starter at N.C. State before being selected in the fifth round of the 1985 draft by the Houston Oilers. As a rookie, he started 11 of 16 games, recording three sacks on his way to All-Rookie honors. Bush would start the first three games of the 1986 campaign before an injury examination revealed he had a narrow spinal canal, thus rendering it too risky to continue his career.
Bush was hired by the Oilers the following year, serving as their college scout until 1992 and was then promoted to linebackers coach, heading the position until 1994.
