Coaching career[edit]

In 1985, White began his coaching career at Rangeview High School in Aurora, Colorado, coaching running backs.[8] The following year, White moved up to the collegiate level as offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at Oregon Tech, a Division II school.

In 1989, White became offensive coordinator and receivers coach at Division I-AA (now Division I FCS) UT Martin under Don McLeary. From 1990 to 1992, White had the same positions at Division I-A (now Division I FBS) Pacific under Walt Harris.[6]
