Wyoming defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Steve Stanard will not be returning to the Cowboys, the team announced in a release Friday.
Stanard had been head coach Craig Bohl's defensive coordinator for Bohl's first three years at Wyoming and North Dakota State's linebackers coach for Bohl's final two years with the Bison.
"We appreciate Steve's efforts these past three seasons and wish him well in his future," Bohl said in the release.
Before coming to North Dakota State, Stanard, a former Nebraska linebacker, had been an assistant at Tulane (defensive coordinator and linebackers coach), Ohio (defensive line coach), Colorado State (defensive coordinator and linebackers coach), New Mexico State (defensive coordinator, linebackers coach and outside linebackers coach), South Dakota (defensive coordinator), Nebraska Wesleyan (head coach and defensive coordinator) and Nebraska (graduate assistant and student assistant coach).
