If You Can Coach Football, You’ll Find a Way | Luke Shively | Ep. 76

There is no single path to becoming a college football coach.Luke Shively certainly didn't take a conventional one.After growing up in small-town Indiana, Shively walked on at Northern Illinois and eventually made 39 consecutive starts at center. When his playing career ended, he initially had no plans to get into coaching — and actually turned down his first opportunity to become a graduate assistant.He eventually took the job.What followed was five years as a GA at Temple and Duke, learning under coaches like Rod Carey, Mike Elko and Adam Cushing before deciding it was finally time to run his own room.That opportunity took him to Wisconsin-River Falls, where he became the Falcons' offensive line coach before eventually returning home to Indiana to coach at Butler.In this episode of The Left Hash Call, Luke joins Seth to talk about his unconventional path through college football, surviving the GA grind, what he learned at the Power Four level, betting on himself by leaving Duke, coaching offensive line, finding the right fit at Butler and why great coaches can find a way to succeed at any level."If you can coach football, you'll find a way."
