Sabino grad Popovich makes jump to NFL
Sabino High grad Jeff Popovich lost his job as UT-San Antonio’s secondary coach when Larry Coker resigned in January, but Popovich wasn’t out of work long. He was hired to be the assistant to Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano last week. How did that happen? Pagano was the secondary coach of the Miami Hurricanes when Popovich was a four-year UM letterman from 1996-99. Popovich earned a biomedical engineering degree at Miami but hasn’t put it to use yet; he coached at Florida International and UTSA before moving to the NFL last week.
