From UT Wishbone QB to HTU golf coach
Former Houston plaintiff's attorney Marty Akins -- who was the University of Texas' wishbone quarterback from 1973-75, has a rather interesting new job.
He's been named the golf coach at Huston-Tillotson University in Austin. Akins has also taken a position on the HTU faculty in the business school.
By the way, that's former UT Heisman Trophy winner and Houston Oiler great Earl Campbell taking the handoff from Akins in the accompanying photograph. Campbell was a wishbone fullback at UT before being converted to an I formation tailback in his senior season when UT ditched the wishbone formation in 1977 under then new coach Fred Akers. The rest is history.
