TAMPA, AUG. 16, 2018 – Although he's seemingly seen it all and done it all in football, Shaun King continues to grow and evolve with the game as a valuable Bull on Charlie Strong's coaching staff.

One of the first true dual-threat collegiate quarterbacks, the former record-breaking playmaker at Tulane had a successful six-year NFL career that included a Super Bowl win with Tampa Bay. Nearly 10 years after officially hanging up his cleats, King joined the USF staff as a quarterbacks coach in 2016 and he's expanding his skills in his second season as the Bulls' running backs coach.

"I made the transition well," King said. "I got to see the game from another vantage point. Whatever Coach Strong asks me to do, I'm going to go and give him my best effort."

King's hard-working mentality made him a big hit in his running back coaching debut in 2017. USF became the only team in the nation with three players to rush for 800 yards or more while the Bulls ranked eighth nationally in rushing offense (264.1 ypg).

"I think I'm going to have an opportunity to do great things in this coaching profession. I'd love for them to be here around people I have a lot of history with and I know really well. I think that makes it extra special." - Shaun King

Surprised to see the CWT tag of BayMade is still being used.

He was born and grew up in the Bay area, played pro ball in the Bay area, now coaches in the Bay area, and according to him would(if I'm reading between the lines correctly) would love to move on to the next level IN the BAY AREA.

If that's not Bay Made, I don't know what is.

Quality man for sure. He was exciting to watch as a player and I'm very glad he's part of USF now. I imagine he can really relate to the players/them to him.
