We’ve seen it many times before, from guys such as Rick Trickett, Steve Dunlap, Doc Holliday, Dave McMichael, Tony Gibson, Lonnie Galloway, Ja’Juan Seider, Bruce Tall to now Tony Dews, these country roads seem to keep bringing them home.
After spending three years as a graduate assistant coach for Don Nehlen and Rich Rodriguez in the early 2000s, Dews spread his wings by working at California University (Pennsylvania), Holy Cross, Central Michigan and then UNLV before returning to Morgantown to coach WVU’s receivers in 2007.
When Rodriguez got the Michigan job, Dews spent three seasons with him in Ann Arbor, then one year with Todd Graham at Pitt in 2011, and then five more seasons with Rodriguez in Arizona before returning to his Eastern roots.
