Toledo is down a football coach.
Linebackers coach Pat Bastien is going to the New York Jets to be an offensive assistant, a change of pace for the 30-year-old, who’s coached exclusively on defense.
Bastien came to Toledo just prior to spring practice and leaves without ever coaching a game.
He has been a defensive graduate assistant, coached linebackers and cornerbacks, and served as assistant director of player development. His coaching stops include Central Florida (2014-15), Georgia Southern (2016-17), Southern (2018), Georgia (2018-19), Marshall (2020), and Western Kentucky (2021).
Bastien was at UCF with current Jets quarterbacks coach Rob Calabrese.
