Griz Football Coaching Shakeup: Who’s Staying, Who’s New
This offseason has proven to be a wild one for Grizzly Football. Head Coach Bobby Hauck announced his "retirement" and then beelined for Illinois, pulling a few former Griz coaches with him.
We're keeping up with all of the changes to the Grizzly coaching staff here. There are a couple of key positions that we are still waiting on, like defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator. Those will be announced sometime this spring or summer.
Here's who we know is set to coach on the sidelines and in the box at Washington-Grizzly Stadium this fall.
Note: It hasn't been officially announced yet, but co-defensive coordinator Tim Hauck is expected to retire.
