The breakup of Kalani Sitake’s BYU football coaching staff continued Tuesday as BYU assistant head coach, special teams coordinator and safeties coach Ed Lamb was announced as the next head coach at Northern Colorado.
Lamb was the head coach at Southern Utah University from 2008-15 before joining Sitake’s staff in 2016 when Sitake succeeded Bronco Mendenhall.
Last week, seven-year BYU defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki announced he was stepping down.
Also Tuesday, it was reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel that first-year BYU defensive graduate assistant DJ Williams, a former USU player, will join Lamb in Greeley, Colorado, as the Bears’ cornerbacks coach.
Lamb’s acceptance of the UNC job was first reported by Brady Hull, host of the Hull Show on KFKA in the Fort Collins/Greeley area.
Northern Colorado posted consecutive 3-8 seasons the past two years and is a member of the Big Sky Conference.
