The news broke earlier this month that the West Virginia Mountaineers would be losing running backs coach Larry Porter, as he will be leaving the program to join Alex Golesh's staff at Auburn. But the Mountaineers have wasted no time in filling the opening on their staff.
According to Football Scoop, WVU football is set to hire former Kentucky Wildcats running backs coach and special teams coordinator Jay Boulware to replace Porter. He will be the third running backs coach since Rodriguez took over the job last December. He initially rehired interim head coach Chad Scott for the job after he served in the role for the Mountaineers during Neal Brown's tenure, but Scott left for the same role at Texas last spring and was replaced by Porter.
