Playing career

Cosh played linebacker for the Virginia Tech Hokies from 1977-1981.[1]

Coaching career

He has been a defensive coach since he started as a student assistant at Virginia Tech in 1983.[1] Cosh has moved around a lot, with 13 stops in 25 years,[2][3] including two with the Maryland Terrapins (1997 & 2006-08) and re-joining Holtz with the South Carolina Gamecocks (1999–2003).[1]

He served as linebackers coach in 2004 and 2005 for the Kansas State Wildcats under head coach Bill Snyder, before returning to Maryland as their defensive coordinator and linebackers coach with head coach Ralph Friedgen.[1]

While at Maryland, Cosh was frequently criticized by fans for the inconsistent performance by Maryland's defense, which was described as "poor to occasionally impressive". Friedgen praised Cosh's recruiting but showed public frustration with Cosh's in-game coaching.[4]

On December 6, 2008 it was announced that Cosh would return to Kansas State for a second time under coach Snyder (when Snyder decided to come out of retirement to help the Wildcats) as assistant head coach (to Snyder) and co-defensive coordinator alongside Vic Koenning.[1][5]

Cosh will have now served as a defensive coordinator in four of the six BCS conferences (Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and Big 12).[1]

Personal

Cosh is a native of Washington, D.C., and graduated from Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville, Maryland. He has a bachelor's degree in physical education from Virginia Tech in 1983.[1]

Cosh and his wife, Mary, have two sons, J.J., who is a member of the Midshipmen football team at the United States Naval Academy, and Billy, who played at Kansas State as a freshman and transferred to James Madison.[6] They live in Maryland.[1]
