The first two entries in the New Coach Profile series were Deion Sanders and Troy Taylor. The new coaches at Colorado and Stanford could hardly have followed more divergent paths to their first head coaching jobs, but they are both distinctive and interesting. Today’s entry, Kenny Dillingham, followed a more straightforward path: the offensive boy genius who scored enough points to take over his own program in his early 30s. After the comedy of errors that was the Herm Edwards experiment, it probably makes sense for ASU to follow a more predictable path. But just because it’s more familiar does not mean it’s risk free.
