Joseph Cox

I heard a man on the radio the other day get asked about who are the up and coming young coaches out there right now. Ones to watch that are on the short list to land a big time college head coaching opportunity in the near future.

The first name that came out of his mouth without hesitation was some 35 year old tight ends coach at Alabama named Joe Cox. He spoke of him like he was some kind of jedi assessor of talent and recruitor and was one of Saban’s biggest secret weapons.

I knew UGA’s Joe Cox had tried to get into coaching but thought, no way, that cant be who Joel Klatt is talking about here. I knew he had been at Colorado State briefly for the failed Bobo experiment, but last i heard, Joe was coaching high school ball in charlotte.

But I just remembered to look it up. And its him.

Am I the only one that didnt know that Georgia’s Joe Cox is being talked about as the next Nick Saban football wizard protoge?
