Louis G. Spanos (born March 27, 1971) is an American football coach who was the defensive coordinator for the UConn Huskies football team, a position he held until the start of the 2022 season.[1] He was a defensive quality control and assistant linebackers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1995 to 2009,[2] the linebackers coach for the Washington Redskins from 2010 to 2011,[3] and the defensive coordinator for the UCLA from 2012 to 2013.
