Washington State head coach Jake Dickert announced the official addition of four new coaches and a chief of staff on Monday. While most had already been known, this announcement makes everything official. Mark Atuaia, Joel Filani, Pete Kaligis, Clay McGuire, and Brent Vernon are those announced to officially join (or rejoin) the football program.
Taking the role of coaching the running backs is Mark Atuaia who comes to Pullman after being on the Virginia coaching staff for the past six seasons. Prior to his time in Charlottesville, he spent three seasons at BYU under Bronco Mendenhall.
