John Andrew McCollum (born March 1, 1959) is an American football coach. He is the head football coach for Sewanee: The University of the South, a position he has held since 2023.[1] He was the head coach of the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders football program from 1999 to 2005.
Coaching career
[edit]McCollum was an assistant at Georgia Tech from 2010 to 2018. Head coach Paul Johnson retired at the end of the 2018 season. Incoming head coach Geoff Collins did not retain any of the former staff, although there was some thought McCollum's ability as a recruiter might lead to his retention.[2]
McCollum returned to coaching in 2020 when Western Carolina hired him as defensive coordinator under head coach Mark Speir, replacing John Wiley.[3]
