Samanich has coached in the program for 18 seasons. He coached quarterbacks, receivers and special teams under coaches Jamie Masi (2000-03) and Mike Golden (2004), was promoted to offensive coordinator when Mark Mueller became head coach in the spring of 2005 and succeeded Mueller in March 2013.
Samanich hasn’t been head coach 25 years...he has been since 2013. Matthew “Bubba” Kidwell will more than likely get this job. I would be totally stunned if he didn’t.
