Pep Hamilton*
Head coach of: DC Defenders (XFL)
Offensive coordinator years: 2013-2015 (Indianapolis Colts)
NFL experience: 12 (24 with college)
Hamilton comes up short in several key benchmarks, but he’s arguably the second or third most attractive hire on this list. Hamilton has been around the block and served as Justin Herbert’s quarterback coach in Los Angeles this past season under the watch of Anthony Lynn. His head coaching experience was short-lived but he’s also got a great stretch of experience at the college level, working with the Stanford and Michigan programs as either a passing game coordinator, assistant head coach or offensive coordinator.
