Gregg Brandon is one of the most popular and richest Head Coach who was born on February 29, 1956 in Tucson, Tucson, United States. Gregg Brandon (born February 29, 1956) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the head football coach at the Colorado School of Mines, a position he had held since 2015. Prior to that, he was the offensive coordinator at New Mexico State University and coached tight ends in the United Football League (UFL) for the Las Vegas Locomotives. He also spent two years as the offensive coordinator at the University of Wyoming and was offensive coordinator for the Virginia Cavaliers for the duration of the 2009 season. He was head coach for the Bowling Green Falcons, but was fired following the conclusion of the 2008 season, after six years at the helm, which included three bowl appearances and shares of two division titles. Brandon had previously been an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at Bowling Green under head coach Urban Meyer before Meyer left for the University of Utah in 2003.
The following year, Brandon joined the Northwestern staff as receivers coach. He was also Northwestern’s recruiting coordinator for his last two seasons there (1997–1998). In his seven seasons at Northwestern, Brandon assembled an extremely talented group of receivers, including D’Wayne Bates, the second all-time leading receiver in Big Ten history. Bates was a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award and an All-America candidate. Brandon returned to the West, spending two seasons at Colorado under Gary Barnett, where he coached the receivers and kickoff return units both years and was the team’s passing-game coordinator in 2000 and recruiting coordinator in 1999.
Brandon suffered his first and only losing season in 2006, finishing 4–8 including losses to rivals Kent State, Miami (OH), and Toledo, as well as becoming the first team to lose to Temple in 20-games. Brandon’s Falcons put the prior season behind them as they posted an 8–5 record during their 2007 campaign earning a share of the MAC East Division title, but missing out on the opportunity to play in the MAC Championship game due to a tiebreaker. Brandon led the team to its third bowl under his tenure, losing to Tulsa, 63–7, in the GMAC Bowl.
On December 18, 2008, Brandon accepted the position of offensive coordinator at the University of Virginia, replacing Mike Groh (son of then current Virginia head coach, Al Groh), who stepped down a week before Brandon’s hiring. Brandon had been named a leading candidate for the position soon after Groh’s resignation.
In 1987 was then named receivers coach at Wyoming, where he worked the next four years (1987–90). During his tenure with head coach Paul Roach, the Cowboys posted a 35–15 record, including a 16–0 run in Western Athletic Conference play in 1987 and 1988, and played in three bowls (1987 Holiday Bowl, 1988 Holiday Bowl, and 1990 Copper Bowl). In 1991, he returned to the state of Utah, where he coached the linebackers for one season at Utah State.
