Filing this under "Misc Coaching News with small connection to WIU":
USD Assistant HC Phil Ockinga is going to be taking over as the HC at NAIA Peru State (Nebraska).
Ockinga was receivers coach at WIU under Bob Nielson in 2015 when Lance Lenoir had his best receiving year for us (83 catches for 1,184 yards and 7 TDs)

Nobody from the MVFC...then again, we were at the bottom of the conference standings and we just hired our new HC last year.

Kinda surprised Coach Kurt Mallory still has a job at Indiana State. This was his 5th actual season coaching (INSU opted out of 2020) and his overall record is 19-37, with 2018 being his only winning season.

Sac St coach, Troy Taylor is the new Stanford coach.

Sounds like Petrino is heading to UNLV to be there new OC
