Utah State football hires new offensive coordinator, restructures other coaching positions

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) USU football coach Gary Andersen recalls a lot of memories as he walks on Merlin Olsen Field with a fresh coat of snow after going in-depth on life back in Logan.

The Utah State football team hired a new offensive coordinator and also restructured the coaching staff.

The Aggies hired Bodie Reeder as the team’s new OC and quarterbacks coach. In addition, assistant coaches Frank Maile and Stacy Collins will be co-defensive coordinators. Collins will coach the secondary and Maile will coach the defensive line.

Mike Caputo will move to the offensive side and coach the tight ends.

Some coaches roles did not change. Justin Ena will still coach the inside linebackers, Bojay Filimoeatu is in charge of the outside linebackers and Mark Orphey leads the secondary.

Reeder worked as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at North Texas in 2019, and did the same job for Eastern Washington in 2017 and 2018.

Reeder marks the third offensive coordinator in as many seasons for Utah State.

Former USU offensive coordinator Mike Sanford left the Aggies for a job at the University of Minnesota in the offseason.
