Larry Mac Duff (born June 22, 1948 in Clinton, Iowa) is an American football coach. He currently serves as co-defensive coordinator for the Texas Longhorns, alongside Duane Akina. He was hired on January 7, 2007, to replace Gene Chizik, who left Texas after two seasons to become the head coach at Iowa State University.[1] Mac Duff and Akina were responsible for the so-called “Desert Swarm” defense at University of Arizona, which led the nation in scoring defense in 1992, allowing only 8.9 points per game, and finished second in total defense.
A former national assistant coach of the year while at Arizona, Mac Duff has helped mentor a Nagurski Trophy winner, an Outland Trophy winner, a Thorpe Award winner, a Lombardi Award finalist, five Pac-10 Defensive Players of the Year and an NCAA sack champion.
