Any prior yankee coaches?

Prior to Saban and Miles, did LSU ever have a yankee coach?

 

Don't know if I would consider Michigan "yankee territory"....

But to answer your question, I don't think so.

 

Sorry for using the "Y" word. I meant to say "northern coaches." :yelwink2:

 

yeah....I shudder when I hear the "Y" word....

 

Paul Dietzel graduated from Miami of Ohio, don't know where he was from originally. Bo Rein's alma mater was Ohio State. A number of the very early coaches were from northern universities as well.

 

dinardeaux was originally from new jersey (?) prior to attending notre dame.

 

Wasn't Arnsparger a Miami Ohiohoho guy as well ?

 

OK, I get the point. Is it safe to assume that Curley was not from New Jersey?

 

Yes, Yankee is more New England/New York than Midwest.

 

Michigan is about as north as you can get in my book.
