Bob Bicknell (born November 13, 1969) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the wide receivers coach for the Baylor Bears football team of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), a position he has held since March 2017. Bicknell is the son of former Boston College head coach Jack Bicknell and the younger brother of Jack Bicknell, Jr., the current assistant offensive line coach for the Miami Dolphins.
Bicknell played college football at Boston College, where he was a two-year letterman at tight end from 1989–1990.
Bicknell joined the pro ranks in 1998 as the defensive line coach with the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europe. The following season, he switched to the offensive side of the ball to coach the offensive line.
