We return a lot of players on both sides of the ball and it is going to be fun to watch how this team progresses under his leadership. Steve Kragthorpe, LSU Quarterbacks Coach - Former Tulsa and Louisville Head Football Coach: This is a home run hire for Utah State. Matt was an integral part of our turnaround at the University of Tulsa, and did a tremendous job for me not only there, but at the University of Louisville as well.

He will do a tremendous job as the head football coach at Utah State and will continue the great tradition of football in Cache Valley.
