Football coaching changes

The Idaho football team’s defensive coaching staff will look different next season.

The team confirmed the departures of defensive line coach Bam Hardmon and secondary coach Ashley Ambrose, while FootballScoop.com reported Ronnie Lee was dismissed from his defensive coordinator position.

Both Hardmon and Ambrose found jobs at programs that play football in the Sun Belt Conference.

Hardmon, who was with Idaho the past two seasons, accepted a job at Troy as its defensive line coach. Ambrose, who only spent one season with the Vandals, accepted a job at Texas State as its cornerback’s coach.

While the dismissal of Lee has yet to be announced by the team, his replacement has reportedly already been found. According to FootballScoop.com, former Washington State defensive coordinator Mike Breske will be the Vandals’ new defensive coordinator.

Idaho coach Paul Petrino has now had seven coaching changes in the two seasons he has been with Idaho.
