Coach Wally's son is an asst. with Elon ?

USF opens the 2007 against Elon.

Shane Burnham joined the Phoenix staff for the 2005 season after serving The Citadel as a linebackers coach in 2004. Burnham will coach the Elon defensive ends in 2006 after directing the Phoenix inside linebackers in 2005.

Previously, he was a linebackers coach at the University of Richmond for four years (1998, 2001-03). While there, Burnham coached All-Atlantic 10 Conference selections Adrian Archie and Mark Thompson. He also helped the Spiders to claim a conference title and an NCAA-IAA playoff berth during his tenure.

A 1998 University of South Carolina graduate, Burnham earned a bachelor’s of science degree in exercise science while collecting four varsity letters for the Gamecocks’ football team. The two-year starter was named his team’s most outstanding inside linebacker as both a junior and a senior.

During his senior campaign, Burnham served his squad as a captain and was honored to the American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team. Also as a senior, the three-time Academic All-SEC choice received his team’s leadership award and was named the Honda/Jefferson-Pilot Scholar Athlete of the Week for his performance in games against both the University of Kentucky and Auburn University.

Yes, which is the reason for our game against them next year.  Leavitt and Woolard scratching someone's back a bit.  

Good deal, Burnham's other son is also on USF's staff.  Wally's da man!
