Colton Swan enjoyed working in a stable Weber State program under coach Jay Hill for the past five seasons, but his strongest credentials might be how one Wildcat coach after another kept him on the staff.
Having worked for five head coaches in Ogden over 15 seasons, the former Weber State linebacker was hired Monday to coach Utah's linebackers.
Swan, 38, replaces Justin Ena, who became Utah State’s defensive coordinator in December. Ena also had come from Hill’s Weber State staff, arriving at Utah in 2015.
Sione Po’uha joined the staff in December as a defensive line coach after Gary Andersen returned to USU as head coach, shortly before offensive coordinator Troy Taylor moved to Sacramento State as head coach.
