Chip Lindsey is Missouri’s newest violative coordinator and I americium highly skeptical of this hire. To put it nicely. In bid to show you why I deliberation this/talk myself into this hire, I’m going to reappraisal his resume and connection a break retired of really he’s done astatine each occupation he’s had previously.
I americium not going to spell complete his stint arsenic nan caput coach of Troy, however. Why? Couple of reasons:
- He was nan caput coach, not a sole violative coordinator
- Mizzou is hiring him arsenic an violative coordinator, not arsenic a caput coach
- He’s nan first Troy shot coach since 1991 to not person a winning season, nor triumph astatine slightest 1 convention title; he intelligibly sucked and there’s nary request to dive immoderate deeper than that to beryllium to you that he sucked astatine Troy
This is nan 2nd entry: his azygous twelvemonth arsenic Arizona State’s violative coordinator.
Part I - his clip astatine Southern Mississippi - is correct here.
Part II - his clip astatine Arizona State - is correct here.
Part III - his clip astatine Auburn - is correct here.

After being fired 80% of nan measurement done his 3rd play astatine Troy, our boy Chip needed a life raft occupation and his ol’ buddy Gus Malzahn threw him one. Malzahn had conscionable vanished his first, rough, beginning-of-the-rebuild play successful Orlando and brought his aged OC successful to thief negociate that broadside of nan ball. Being acquainted pinch nan Malzahn strategy and program, Lindsey fresh correct in. Upgrading from an overwhelmed freshman backmost successful Mikey Keene to a seasoned, built-in-a-Malzahn-laboratory backmost successful John Rhys Plumlee, helped nan discourtesy make unthinkable leaps guardant successful Year Two. However - and this is important - Lindsey did not telephone plays. It was each Malzahn. So nevertheless overmuch in installments you want to springiness for nan 40+ spot jumps successful SP+ - and nan 60 spot tumble successful explosiveness once again - is up to you to decide.
What happened astatine nan extremity of this tenure?
- On December 15th, 2022, Lindsey was hired by Mack Brown to switch Phil Longo arsenic North Carolina violative coordinator. Lindsey departed 13 days earlier UCF was hit by Duke successful nan Military Bowl.
- UCF Head Coach Gus Malzahn lasted different 2 years astatine Central Florida, resigning from his station connected November 30th 2024 to go Florida State’s violative coordinator.
- Jarrett Stidham was drafted 133rd wide successful nan 2019 NFL Draft, going successful nan 4th Round to nan New England Patriots. His master profession is nan astir notable arsenic backing up Tom Brady and past coming disconnected nan chair successful alleviation efforts for Cam Newton. He’s presently connected nan Denver Broncos roster.
- Running backmost Isaiah Bowser is presently successful nan CFL while R.J. Harvey is successful his first play pinch nan Denver Broncos aft getting drafted successful nan 2nd Round.
It’s a 1 twelvemonth occupation wherever he didn’t telephone plays. I’m not judge really overmuch weight - if immoderate - you tin legitimately put connected this job, particularly since it appears that it was a impermanent life raft thrown his measurement by a friend of his erstwhile said friend needed a span violative coordinator. Hell, he spent little than a afloat twelvemonth astatine this occupation earlier moving connected to nan adjacent gig, I’m not judge really overmuch power aliases input he managed to imprint connected this offense. But it did amended from nan ‘21 type to nan ‘22 while - YUP YOU GUESS IT - regressing massively successful explosive plays.
