2009-10: Warren Belin enters his eighth season coaching linebackers at Vanderbilt.
The 19-year veteran also is in his second year as recruiting coordinator after
having worked as special teams coordinator in 2006-07.

In each of Belin[apos]s years at Vanderbilt, he has worked with stellar
linebackers. In 2008, junior Patrick Benoist earned second team All-SEC
honors while Chris Marve became an All-SEC freshman pick selection. Both
were among the SEC[apos]s top tacklers.

In 2006-07, Belin worked with All-SEC pick Jonathan Goff and versatile
Marcus Buggs. Both are now in their second year in the NFL: Goff with the
New York Giants and Buggs with the Buffalo Bills.

In 2004-05, Moses Osemwegie was a first team All-SEC player. In 2002,
Hunter Hillenmeyer earned the National Student Athlete Award after leading
the league in tackles and garnering All-SEC honors.

Belin served in a similar role at Southern Methodist before coming to
Vanderbilt. In five years at SMU, at least one of Belin[apos]s linebackers were
named All-Western Athletic Conference each year of his service. Vic Viloria
was named first team All-WAC as a junior. Another SMU pupil, Jason
Simonton, was a two-time All-WAC selection. A third player, Chris Bordano,
was WAC Western Division Defensive Player of the Year in 1997.
Prior to joining the SMU staff, Belin worked as an assistant coach at
William & Mary, Cornell and East Tennessee State.

A native of Marshville, N.C., Belin was a three-year starter and four-year
letterman at Wake Forest from 1987-90. He earned a B.S. in Health and
Sports Science from Wake Forest, graduating cum laude. He was named
to the ACC All-Academic Team in 1990, and was a two-time ACC Academic
Honor Roll recipient.

Belin is married to the former Yolanda Taylor. They are the parents of three daughters: Camryn, 7; and 4-year-old twins Morgan and MacKenzi.
