The University of Toledo football coaching staff is complete.
Jason Candle has hired Pat Bastien to coach linebackers and Corey Parker to coach cornerbacks.
Bastien is filling a vacancy created by former defensive line coach Larry Black’s move to Vanderbilt, and Parker is replacing cornerbacks coach Cornell Ford, who left the program after the Bahamas Bowl. Co-defensive coordinator Craig Kuligowski will coach the defensive line.
Bastien, a Florida native, comes to UT from Western Kentucky, where he coached linebackers in 2021. Prior to that, Bastien coached cornerbacks at Marshall for one season, helping the Thundering Herd lead the country in fewest points allowed, second in total defense, fourth in rush defense, and 11th in pass defense.
