 James Franklin, Vanderbilt University
Topic: “Developing the Quarterback.” |
Hired as the first African-American head coach in Vanderbilt gridiron history on Dec. 17, 2010, James Franklin became the only first-year coach in school history to guide the Commodores to a bowl game, surpassed the total wins achieved by the program in each of its previous two seasons and reeled in the best recruiting class in school history. He has sent a jolt of positive energy throughout Vanderbilt’s football program that has been buoyed by an infectious personality and unmatched passion for the Commodores. Franklin served his coaching apprenticeship at James Madison, Washington St., Idaho St., Kansas St., Maryland twice and 1 year with the NFL Green Bay Packers.

Jimbo Fisher & Staff, Florida State
Topic: “The Seminole Defense” with his FSU Defensive Staff.
|
Last year after 22 seasons as a college assistant, including three as FSU’s offensive coordinator, Fisher succeeded Bobby Bowden – the winningest coach in major college football history. The Seminoles’ first new coach in 35 years hit the ground running in 2010 and has not looked back with the program returning to the nations elite this fall. Considered to have one of the best offensive minds in the college ranks, Fisher’s early success has come on the heels of his team’s defenses and special teams. The Seminoles ranked fourth nationally in total defense in 2011. Fisher coached QB’s at Auburn (’93-’98) and was offensive coordinator and QB coach at Cincinnati and LSU from 1999-’06 before taking on the same responsibilities for the Seminoles in 2007.

Tony Reno, Yale University,
Topic: “Fundamentals of DB Play in the 3-4 Defense.” |
Anthony (Tony) Reno, a former Yale assistant coach, was named the Head Coach of Yale Football on Jan. 12, 2012. The 34th head coach of the Bulldogs has a history of transforming his charges into nationally recognized units. Reno, the Harvard special teams coordinator and defensive secondary coach from 2009 to 2011, helped engineer last fall’s undefeated Ivy League Championship team. Three of his Crimson special teams units were ranked statistically among the nation’s top 20 in 2011. He was Yale’s wide receivers coach in 2003 and the defensive secondary leader from 2004 to 2008. When he took over the Eli defensive backs the 2007 and 2008 Yale was No. 1 in FCS scoring defense.

Bill O’Brien, Penn State University,
Topic: “Passing Game & QB Drills” |
Bill O’Brien became the 15th head Football coach in Penn State history this fall when he succeeded the legendary Joe Paterno. Perhaps no coach in college history faced a more daunting 1st year in a new job. What he has accomplished with the Nittany Lions has been nothing short of heroic considering the circumstances. O’Brien came to State College from 5 years as assistant coach, QB coach and OC with the New England Patriots during their Super Bowl run. Before joining the pro ranks, he spent much of his career in the Atlantic Coast Conference, coaching RB’s at Maryland and QB’s at Georgia Tech and Duke, two schools where he also served as offensive coordinator.

In 2011, Georgia won ten or more games for the seventh time in Richt’s 11 years. Richt served as QB coach and OC at FSU during the Golden Age of Seminole football 1990-2000. He sent 6 QB’s to the NFL including Heisman trophy winners Chris Weinke and Charlie Ward. He has continued to develop great QB’s at Georgia including David Greene, Matthew Stafford and currently Aaron Murray.

Ellis Johnson, University of Southern Mississippi
Topic: “Goal Line Defensive Schemes.” |

Johnson became the USM head coach after spending the previous four seasons at the University of South Carolina where he served as the Gamecocks’ defensive coordinator. He also held the title of assistant head coach. In his final season with the Gamecocks, his defense ranked third nationally, allowing just 268 yards per game.

His 39-year coaching career also includes stints as DC at Mississippi State, Alabama, Clemson and Appalachian State. Johnson also has previous experience as a head coach at Gardner Webb (1983) and The Citadel (2001-03).
