When West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett announced that he was retiring from playing football prior to the team's bowl game this past season it did not come as a surprise. Too many concussions in relative close proximity to each other were enough to tell him it was time. While it had to be hard to hang up the pads he had no intention of walking away from the game. He wanted to get in to coaching.
It appears that he has done just that.

Most would have expected him to get a gig as a graduate assistant with someone in order to get his foot in the door with a top program. He opted to take a different and more impressive route. He got a job as a quarterbacks coach for a junior college program, but not just any old juco.
He will be working for East Mississippi Community College.
If the name does not sound familiar to you that is okay. Junior colleges don't exactly make the national media unless a player is transferring to a DI program. East Mississippi CC is the defending JUCO champion and has won the national title in three of the last four seasons.
The team passed for more than 300 yards in eight games last season and for more than 400 in three.
