Dothan native Chase Paramore, currently the youngest head college football coach in the country at Waldorf (Iowa) University, was a guest on The Paul Finebaum Show on Thursday afternoon.
Paramore, 26, is a 2014 Providence Christian graduate who was hired as Waldorf’s new coach in January after serving the past season as the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at the school, which plays on the NAIA level.

I like to see myself as a transformational coach, so I’m trying to help as many of our student athletes at Waldorf achieve the goals that they want to achieve personally and hopefully help set themselves up for a very successful career in avenues outside of football.”
Finebaum brought up the point that now with some college players being in their upper 20s – using the example that Stetson Bennett was 25 as Georgia’s quarterback last year – that Paramore may be able to better relate to some of them since he’s such a young coach. “When we’re sitting there talking about what they want to do for a career, or needing to pass one or two classes to maybe become eligible or finish out their senior year and trying to get to the finish line and graduate … it’s a little bit easier for them to relate to me because just three or four years ago that was me.”“I’ve tried to just be where my feet are at all times,” Paramore said. “Any place I’ve been at, I want to give my 100 percent.
