Bob Shoop (born August 18, 1966) is an American college football coach and former player. He currently serves as the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Volunteers. Shoop served as the head football coach at Columbia University from 2003 to 2005.
Playing career
Shoop is a 1988 graduate of Yale University and both played and coached under Carmen Cozza. In his senior year, he was named to the All-Ivy League team. In 1988, and the early part of 1989, Shoop played in the United Kingdom for the Birmingham Bulls.[1]
Coaching career
He served as an assistant coach at Yale and as defensive coordinator from 1994 to 1996. He was hired by Tom O'Brien at Boston College in 1999.
In 2003, Shoop was hired by Columbia University with the hopes that he would turn around the struggling program. He was fired shortly after the end of the 2005 with a record of 7–23 in his three seasons with the team. His 2005 team went winless in the Ivy League and he never finished above 6th place.
From 2007 to 2010, Shoop served as the defensive coordinator at William & Mary. On January 31, 2011, he was named as the defensive coordinator for the Vanderbilt Commodores, under new head coach James Franklin.[2] He followed Franklin to Penn State under the same title for the beginning of the 2014 season.
On January 9, 2016, Shoop was announced as the defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Volunteers.[3]
