Can anyone please list all the Div-1A head coaches that jumped to that position from QB or WR coach?
* Excluding former HC's or ones with OC or DC experience prior to becoming the WR or QB coach (that is, I am looking for a 'rising' coach that only had WR or QB coach experience that went directly to a head coaching job)

Dude. First, give somebody more than five minutes.
Second, can I use NFL position coach to Div IA coach?

Anyway, last year alone (DIA position coach to DIA Head Coach):
Central Michigan-Butch Jones, WR Coach, West Virginia
Florida Int'l-Mario Cristobol, OL Coach, Miami

Wasn't Leach a position coach?

No. Leach was the OC at OU.
Oh, I forgot one. I don't think Stan Brock was a coordinator at Army.
If you go pro's to DIA, you add Minnesota's Tim Brewster and La Tech's Jack Bicknell to the mix.

Leach was OC at OU, Steve Kragthorpe was a QB coach and never an OC when Tulsa hired him.

Actually, I did some checking. He's a token Cuban.

I was saving Kragthorpe because he was an NFL position coach.

Wrong:
He then spent more than a decade as an assistant coach at several colleges, and served as the
offensive coordinator at three of them (Northern Arizona, North Texas, and Texas A&M). He then spent two years in the NFL as the quarterback coach for the Buffalo Bills before taking the top job at Tulsa.
