Scary thing is that isn't even his 1st job since Baylor. In the article it mentions and has a pic of him when he was at an NAIA school in Oklahoma in 2015 minutes after his show cause penalty ended.

Dave Bliss? Many ties to "The Greatest Hoosier Ever" 

"Six years as an assistant under Bob Knight -- first at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point (1967-69), then Indiana University (1972-75) ... sharing some of Mr. Knight's obsession for coaching.

Mr. Knight once called Mr. Bliss the smartest assistant he ever had, no small compliment, considering Duke University coach Mike Krzyzewski also served under Mr. Knight.

Mr. Knight, like other former Bliss associates, has been conspicuously quiet during the Baylor saga. It's uncertain whether Mr. Knight had contacted Mr. Bliss, or vice versa. A Texas Tech spokesman said last week that Mr. Knight was out of town and unavailable for comment.

"I think early in his career, he was cut from the Bobby Knight cloth as far as the discipline and intensity level and all that kind of stuff," Mr. Koncak said. "I don't feel he took it as far as Coach Knight did as far as degrading players verbally, but it was tough. He was hard on you."

Mr. Bliss admired Mr. Knight, even naming his first child Robert after his former mentor."
