Former player and then coaching grad assistant at Western, Todd Auer, has been hired as the Defensive Coordinator at DII Western State Colorado University (coincidentally, the school where my aunt and uncle taught for a combined 88 years). Auer was a name that popped up in the discussions about football coaches as a possibility to come to Western if we'd have ended up hiring another former Leatherneck Bill O'Boyle (who ended up becoming O-Line coach on Nielson's staff at South Dakota).
