In this day and age of college football, assistant coaches take almost as much heat as the head coaches. With increased salaries comes increased responsibility and scrutiny. For every Manny Diaz (who got blown out as DC at Texas earlier this year) there is a Tim DeRuyter (who went from DC at Texas A&M to head coach at Fresno State where he is undefeated in 2013).
Here are six assistant coaches that in my opinion, should get a shot to be a head coach in 2014….
Cam Cameron, Offensive Coordinator, LSU
Cameron brings both NFL head coaching experience (Miami) and college head coaching (Indiana) experience to the table. He wasn't successful at either spot but after his startling turnaround of the LSU offense this season, I think somebody will be willing to give him another shot this off-season. The Tigers offense is scoring more than ten points per game over their 2012 average. Cameron is only making $600K this season but that moves up to $1.3 million in 2014 and $1.5 million in 2015 so it will take a high profile job to get Cameron away from Baton Rouge.
