From Duke website:

Roger Hinshaw, a North Carolina native and veteran coach with over 30 years of experience, joined the Duke football staff in 2007 and serves as the program's Assistant Director of Operations.

Hinshaw enjoyed a 23-year coaching relationship with Ken Hatfield, working alongside the national coach of the year at Air Force (1983), Arkansas (1984-89), Clemson (1990-93) and Rice (1994-05).  Over those 23 seasons, Hatfield and Hinshaw helped the four respective programs to a combined record of 138-101-3 with 10 bowl game appearances and four conference championships.  Hinshaw spent the 2006 season as the defensive coordinator at Angleton (Texas) High School.

A native of Burlington, N.C., and 1972 graduate of Appalachian State University, Hinshaw started his coaching career at Watauga High School in Boone, N.C., serving two years as an assistant coach.  After one year (1974) as a graduate assistant coach at his alma mater, he served stints at Newton County (Ga.) High School (1975-76) and Newnan (Ga.) High School (1977-78).  Hinshaw then worked four campaigns at West Alabama before joining Hatfield in Colorado Springs at the Air Force Academy.

Hinshaw coached in 10 bowl games -- Independence (1983), Liberty (1984), Holiday (1985), Orange (1987), Liberty (1987), Cotton (1989), Cotton (1990), Hall of Fame (1991), Citrus (1992) and Peach (1993).  In addition, Hinshaw was a part of 10-win campaigns at three schools -- Air Force (1983), Arkansas (1985, 1988 and 1989) and Clemson (1990) -- as well as conference championship squads at Arkansas (1988 and 1989), Clemson (1991) and Rice (1994).

Born March 3, 1950, Hinshaw and his wife, Lynn, have three daughters, Beth, Lindsey, Jamie and one son-in-law, Ryan.  Beth was a four-time WAC champion who earned All-America honors in the pole vault at Rice before graduating in 2004.  Lindsey lettered three seasons on the golf team at Arkansas before graduating in 2006 while Jamie, a senior at Texas A&M, has earned three All-Big 12 citations as a member of the Aggie softball squad.
