[edit] College

Brock played football at Jesuit High School in his hometown of Portland before attending the University of Colorado at Boulder where he played under coaches Bill Mallory and Chuck Fairbanks. He was selected to the first team All-American by The Sporting News. as a senior in 1979.[2] He was also selected as first team all Big Eight Conference and the John Mack Award winner, Colorado's award for offensive MVP.[2]
[edit] NFL

Brock played for the New Orleans Saints from 1980 to 1992. He finished his career with the San Diego Chargers from 1993 to 1995. He played in Super Bowl XXIX for the Chargers. Stan's older brother Pete also played in the NFL for the Patriots.
[edit] Coaching career

After his playing career, he became a coach in the Arena Football League (AFL), where he served as the head coach of the Portland Forest Dragons (1997–1999) and the Los Angeles Avengers (2000–2001).

On January 29, 2007, he was named the head coach at Army after the resignation of Bobby Ross. Since he became head coach, the Black Knights have posted a 6–18 record and have lost twice to Navy by a combined score of 72–3.[3] On December 8, 2008, sportswriter John Feinstein, the author of A Civil War: Army vs. Navy, wrote a column in The Washington Post in which he called for Brock to be replaced as Army's head coach.[4] Brock was fired by the USMA on December 12, 2008 after compiling a 6–18 record in two years as head coach, and six days after the Black Knights completed their 2008 season with a 34–0 loss to archrival Navy.[1]
[edit] Development and implementation of the "Brock Bone" offense

Following a 3–9 record in his first season as Army's head coach, Brock was pressured to change his offensive system from the pro set to something more similar to Navy's triple option, something Brock had once described as "a stupid idea."[5] During spring training for the 2008 season, Brock elected to close spring practices to implement his new offense.[6] The offense Brock developed was dubbed "the Brock Bone" by ESPN commentator Shaun King.[7] The Brock Bone seems to employ a higher percentage of fullback dives than are ordinarily seen in a triple option offense. Coach Brock has commented, "People think that we're just calling fullback dive, but when that's what they give you, that's what they give you.".[8] Army ran the Brock Bone during the 2008 NCAA Division I FBS football season and finished the season ranked 110th out of 119 NCAA Division I FBS teams in total offense.[9]

Hopefully God will tell June to keep looking.

Yawn

None of the above has anything to do with whether he's good at coaching offensive linemen.

Jeez Louise, give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

I can train a chimp to coach offensive linemen. What I cannot do is train a chimp to recruit offensive linemen that he can coach. He may be the greatest line coach in the country but we need someone energetic with Texas ties to recruit this state outward instead of California inward.

The only thing that this potential move would demonstrate is how much the gap is widening in Texas.

The question is not whether he can coach the line, the question is whether he can recruit.

[skyscraper]

Replace a young, energetic up and comer with an aging has-been.
Sadly I can see this happening.

Maybe June wants someone that would fit in well with most of the current staff.

[ponyscott]

I was not making decisions BTW as I just pulled this up and read more about him...my thoughts are the same as skyscraper....forget older coaches already, bring DOWN the average age of the coaching staff, bring on some younger energetic guys with HS connections and hopefully here in Texas and/or California. Bridge the gap with the younger potential recruits to come here. June got a diamond in the rough with Klemm and he needs to mine another diamond to recruit and bring new fresh coaching techniques and idea's.
What has this coach done in the last 3 years?..no record of anything. He doesn't bring Texas or California connections apparently and no recent contacts with current prospective recruits either.

[BigT3x]

This guy is perfect for June. Another burnout looking for a paycheck.

[jpe747]

Unlike others, I doubt the area blocking, etc. used in Jone's offense is all that easy to coach. There has to be decisions made instantaneously as to which blitzing lb each lineman should pick up, etc. Just had to add that. However, recruiting is one of the most important things all SMU should tackle. I would hope Coach Jones will look to young players coming out of the pros (similar to AK). College players will listen to those they respect and clearly they respect professionals who have the 'been there, done that' factor.
