 * Delete Being on a coaching team (or several) does not automatically bring notability, lack of sources to establish it. Reywas92Talk 03:08, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete never a head coach. WP:GNG doesn't appear to be satisfied either. SportingFlyer  T · C  06:15, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being a back team member of the coaching staff isn't enough for sport-specific notability and the coverage is inadequate for the GNG. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:09, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per rationale given above. Ktrimi991 (talk) 10:34, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete not seeing anything that passes WP:GNG nor any other notability guideline. Typically assistant coaches do not generate the press to pass notability standards.  It's possible he could achieve notability through extensive coverage with his college play (or something else) but I'm not finding any evidence of that.  Would change my position if it were discovered and presented.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:14, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Looks like this one's headed to deletion, but I'm finding a fair amount of coverage for a guy who is the associate head coach (here) and defensive coordinator for a Power Five program.  Examples of coverage include: this and this. Cbl62 (talk) 01:02, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
 * The ESPN article is interesting, but I'd classify the Stanford article as not independent... hard for me to find more as "Lance Anderson" is a lousy search term. Considering...--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:39, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
