PHOENIX - New assistant coach Jordan Gigli (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=209361649&DB_OEM_ID=13500) will be one of 58 coaches/coaching prospects attending the fourth annual NFL-NCAA Coaches Academy that kicked off Friday in Phoenix. The three-day program (February 14-16) was developed in 2011 by NFL Player Engagement and the NCAA to provide the participants with tools and networking opportunities for potential careers as football coaches.
Gigli is one of seven new assistant coaches on the North Dakota football staff that first-year head coach Bubba Schweigert (http://www.anygivensaturday.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=209349966&DB_OEM_ID=13500) put together after he was hired in late December. Gigli will coach the defensive line at UND after spending three seasons in a similar role at Sacramento State.
Many of the participants, who were invited after going through an applicationg process, currently have high school or college coaching positions. The NCAA also invited football coaches who have less than eight years of college coaching experience to take part.
"I am truly humbled to be selected to take part in this academy and excited to represent UND down here in Arizona," Gigli said. "I look forward to picking the brains of some of the best coaches in the business on everything from X's and O's to budgeting and player relationships. I want to take advantage of every resource imaginable to become a better football coach."
Hopefully he can get some "coaching" and explore it on the field.
