Nearly two months after former defensive backs coach Archie Collins departed to Pittsburgh, former Oregon State interim head coach Cory Hall has accepted the job.
Hall's position was officially announced on March 18.
Having played six years in the NFL, Hall took over midway through last season after the Beavers and Gary Anderson parted ways, finishing 0-6 but losing twice by single-digits. OSU won one game in 2017.
Hall, 41, inherits a CMU secondary that led the NCAA FBS in takeaways (31) at the end of the regular-season. Three starters in Amari Coleman, Josh Cox and Darwyn Kelly are leaving the program due to graduation.
