Bagnell

USD WR coach leaving. Unfortunate. Great coach, players loved him.

Any insight into why? Kind of strange to give up a HC job to come to USD as a position coach and them bolt after a terrific year. Odd It's easy to find good WR coaches out there, so not worried especially with a veteran room.

Said he was leaving the coaching profession and going into business back home in Montana.

I also believe there’s obligation to take care of failing health parents. Great guy that does the right thing

Interesting move on paper, leaving a head coaching position to move to SD and become a WR coach only to leave the profession a year later. How easy it is to forget that everyone has their own complications in life that aren't compatible with pursuing a career like this.

I believe this to be more accurate… secondhand news but it sounds like more of family health issue than a football move. Sounds like a pretty sad deal. Prayers to him and his family

Yes, I just heard the reason too and I commend Coach Bagnell for making that choice for his family. Tough pill to swallow as a coach, but family comes first in these situations. Best wishes to all of them.

Sounds like they got a replacement for Bagnell….O Coordinator from Grand Valley State. Know nothing about him
