Ilaisa Tuiaki, Oregon State linebackers coach, joining Kalani Sitake's staff at BYU

Welcome to 2015, where changing one's Twitter avatar can also signal changing jobs.

Ilaisa Tuiaki performed the first task Monday, changing his photo to the BYU logo to essentially confirm that the Oregon State linebackers coach will join former Beavers defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake's staff in Provo.

The specific role Tuiaki will hold under Sitake is unclear, though at least one report indicated that he has told recruits he will be the Cougars' defensive coordinator.

Tuiaki followed Sitake to OSU from Utah, where he was the Utes' defensive line coach when they led the nation with 55 sacks in 2014.
