the former Gopher makes the list:

8. Tony Levine, Houston head coach: Given all the big-name coordinators who passed through Houston under Art Briles and Kevin Sumlin, it seemed like a stretch when athletics director Mack Rhoades gave the job to a relatively unknown career special teams coach. But Levine has proved to be a smart, efficient recruiter and promising CEO. After going 8-5 last season, the Cougars are primed to take the next step and could very well win the American Athletic Conference and the major bowl bid that goes to the highest-ranked "Group of Five" team.

I could see Levine ending up as the head coach at the U at some point in the future. Could be a dream job scenario given his background and the fact that he played at the U. Great to see him having the success he is having and getting recognition like this, hopefully things continue going well for him.
