Current defensive coordinator at Oklahoma--but no record that he was ever a head coach at the collegiate level. Blueboy96 23:33, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Correct. Just like Frank Broyles, Norm Chow, Gus Malzahn, Bud Foster, Kevin R. Wilson, Charlie Strong, and many more. You really want to delete all of these articles? I'm saying no, which means keep this article. --bender235 (talk) 23:46, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Broyles and Strong actually served as head coaches (Strong, granted, an acting coach for one game) while the others either won a major award or, in Malzahn's case, have enough to meet the general bio guideline. No comparison. Blueboy96 23:55, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The list goes on: Jimbo Fisher, Jim McElwain, Mark Whipple, Sonny Dykes, Mike Bobo, Will Muschamp, John Chavis, Kirby Smart, Brent Venables, Tyrone Nix, Major Applewhite, Josh Heupel, and more and more. Again, do you want to delete all of those? --bender235 (talk) 15:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Is this individual notable? Are there sources? At current state, Delete.--  李博杰   | —Talk contribs email 03:15, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Source is the OU coach profile. And whether he's notable or not? Consider the list above. We'd have to delete all of those if we decide that an OU coordinator is not notable. --bender235 (talk) 15:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * OK ... so we've got one former head coach, one head coach-designate, one Heisman runner-up, and others who have enough to satisfy the general biographical or general notability guideline. The bottom line--being an assistant coach at a Division I-FBS school is not enough by itself to confer notability. And in any case, WP:OTHERSTUFF. Blueboy96 16:32, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, being a coordinator at a Div I school easily matches the notability criteria. --bender235 (talk) 16:34, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Google News Archive turns up "about 658" hits from 1984 onwards. --Cedderstk 18:54, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added a couple references and expanded the article a bit. I'll try to add some more if I can. Its hard to sift through the numerous articles that mention him and get the ones that are actually talking about him as opposed to the ones that are simply getting information out of him (i.e., beat writers getting info about a recruit or a game, etc).—NMajdan &bull;talk 20:49, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: Given references support notability. --Rirunmot 23:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rirunmot (talk • contribs)
