Does anybody know what type of offense we should expect our of our new OC?
BOZEMAN, Mont. — Brian Wright, the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Youngstown State for the past five years and a nine-year veteran of the Penguin coaching staff, has joined the Montana State program in the same capacity, Bobcat coach Rob Ash announced Friday.
Wright helped produce explosive offenses in terms of yards and points at YSU. The Penguins regularly gained over 350.0 yards per game, gaining nearly 10,000 in the 2006 and ‘07 seasons combined. In the past five seasons, Youngstown State scored 30 points or more in 29 games.
“Brian is a highly-talented offensive football coach,” Ash said. “He coached in an excellent conference, has considerable playoff experience, and is recognized as a outstanding quarterbacks coach. He displays a poised, professional demeanor, and I believe he is a perfect fit for our coaching staff and our philosophy here at Montana State.”
Former Bobcat assistant Jeff Mills, who also coached under Ash at Drake, suggested Wright for the Bobcat post, Ash said. A 1994 graduate of the College of Wooster, Wright began coaching as a senior after a knee injury prematurely ended his playing career.
Wright worked as a graduate assistant at Walsh from 1995-96, becoming an offensive graduate assistant at Youngstown State in 1997. He worked with receivers on the Penguins’ I-AA National Championship squad that season. In 1998 he moved back to Walsh as receivers coach, taking over as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the NAIA school the next season. He remained there through the 2000 campaign.
Ash indicated that Bobcat tight ends coach Dale Ploessl will continue to coordinate the Bobcat running game.
