A month and a half after being unceremoniously dumped by Washington, Brent Pease has landed a new coaching gig.
In a UTEP release announcing the hiring of four new assistant coaches, Pease was named as Sean Kugler‘s new offensive coordinator. Pease was actually one of two coordinators hired by Kugler according to the original release, the other being Ken Flajole on the defensive side of the ball. However, the school sent out a “corrected” release a short time later that excluded Flajole, who it’s believed took another job instead. Be that as it may...
Pease was in his second season as wide receivers coach, hired by Chris Petersen prior to his first year with the Huskies, before being fired last month. From 2006-10, Pease was Petersen’s receivers coach at Boise State; in 2011, he was Petersen’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach with the Broncos.
Pease left Boise following the 2011 season to become the offensive coordinator under Will Muschamp at Florida. Two years later, he was fired.
In addition to Pease, two other coaching hires were announced: Theron Aych (wide receivers)and Don Yanowsky (linebackers).
