For the third time in the past three days, the Miami Dolphins have reached into the Div. 1-A ranks and pulled out an assistant for its new coaching staff.
The latest to lose a coach to the NFL is USF, with head coach Skip Holtz wishing wide receivers coach Phil McGeoghan good luck via Twitter late Thursday night. “Appreciate the job you have done at USF,” Holtz wrote, although the coach didn’t confirm the Dolphins were McGeoghan’s destination.
The school subsequently did, though, the Tampa Tribune reported.
McGeoghan was one of three assistants retained by Holtz when he took over for Jim Leavitt in 2009.
In addition to McGeoghan, Lou Anarumo (Purdue) and Jim Turner (Texas Tech) have left the collegiate coaching ranks for jobs with the Dolphins this week.
