I do not think this person is notable: I can find no substantial coverage in independent RS, and his biggest claim to notability seems to have been being offensive coordinator for college football teams, which is not something inherently notable. Note that the "records" listed at the bottom are not his records, but rather records set by players or teams where he was on coaching staff at the time. The claim that "he is the architect of the showtime offensive system which has set around two dozen NCAA records" appears to be wholly unsourced. Fyddlestix (talk) 20:34, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. According to his Lindenwood Profile, Kolb "has coached 17 All-Americans, including two Harlon Hill Finalist quarterbacks.". I know very little about football but to me, this seems impressive. Postcard Cathy (talk) 04:26, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. He was an assistant coach for several lower tier (mostly Divisions II and III as far as I can ascertain) college programs.  Not finding the sort of significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources of the type needed to satisfy WP:GNG. Also, much of the material is unsourced and questionable.

 * Delete assistant coaches normally are not considered notable and I do not see a reason to make an exception here. I concur that subject does not pass WP:GNG, nor any other notability measure I can find.  I believe this is an "up-and-coming" coach making some progress, but "up-and-coming" translates here into "not yet notable" -- try another wiki.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:24, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
