CAMP TONTOZONA, Ariz. — Kenny Dillingham was not gifted one of those big, reverberating football coach voices. So when he needs to get a point across, it is a full-body effort from his toes all the way to his vocal chords, making him look like an overzealous terrier as he bounces from one end of Arizona State's practice field to the other alternating between enthusiasm and rage.
"I gotta yell," he told Yahoo Sports. "I gotta go after it. I lose my voice early. Once I get raspy, I start from the chest."
But for the 36-year-old Dillingham, having a voice that needs some amplification has trained him to be loud in the ways that matter most as a college football coach in the current era.
You have to speak up to get what you want.
As the Sun Devils completed Dillingham's third season last November and into early December, he was presented with what many coaches would consider a generational opportunity. Not only were there an unusual number of top-shelf or even blue-blood jobs open, but there weren't many accomplished coaches to fill them.
