UTPB football head coach Justin Carrigan announced Friday the addition of two defensive coaches to his inaugural staff.
Chris Mineo, a 2001 Permian graduate, has been brought aboard as co-defensive coordinator/defensive line coach and Jacob Martin, a two-time state championship player at Celina High School, will be co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach.
“I’m beyond excited to have these coaches join me in building this program,” Carrigan said. “I have never been around two guys more loyal and hardworking than Chris and Jacob. They are tireless recruiters and coaches who have an unbelievable amount passion for this game.”
Mineo and Martin both were previously with Tarleton State as defensive assistants — Mineo for the past seven seasons and Martin for the past five.
UTPB, which will play its first game in fall 2016, received its first batch of player commitments Wednesday, inking six on National Signing Day.
Carrigan, also a former assistant with Tarleton State, was introduced as head coach Jan. 9, about three months after the college announced it had reached its initial monetary goal to launch the program.
