Looks like Sears is headed to Weber State as the DC. Good to see him still coaching, but to be honest, I hated his defensive schemes at Eastern. Also, looks like Jason Belford will be going with him. Good for him. :thumb:
I wonder where Coach Wulff will end up. Kind of a scary thought thinking about facing him somewhere in the Big Sky...but perhaps he will take an OC position or something at a bigger program.

Belford hired
Jason Belford, a former Lincoln High and Eastern Washington University standout, has been named defensive line coach at Weber State.
Belford was a graduate assistant coach at Washington State the past two seasons. Weber's new head coach is former WSU assistant John L. Smith. Ex-WSU player and assistant coach Jody Sears is expected to be named Weber's defensive coordinator.
Other notes from the same article.
Cougfan.com reports that nine of the 19 verbal commits Leach inherited (including Federal Way linebacker Jordan Pulu) are now headed elsewhere for one reason for another, mostly to lower-level conferences. All nine players have been replaced with new commits.
In addition, Leach dismissed defensive tackle T.J. Poloai for an undisclosed violation of team rules. Poloai redshirted as a freshman last season.
