McNeese football head coach Matt Viator has finalized his coaching staff by hiring Tyler Bolfing as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, alongside Terence Cahee as linebackers coach. Both additions are McNeese graduates and played under Viator. Bolfing returns after stints in the Big 12, while Cahee comes back after serving as a high school head coach. Their experience and ties to McNeese aim to bolster the Cowboys' program moving forward.

By the Numbers
  • Bolfing was part of the Baylor team that won the 2021 Big 12 Conference Championship.
  • Cahee has coached 22 players who signed Division I scholarships during his high school career.
Yes, But

While both coaches bring valuable experience, integrating them into the existing dynamics of the staff may prove challenging. Experience in college football does not always translate seamlessly at the collegiate level.

State of Play
  • Bolfing has a successful background, previously coaching record-setting tight ends at ULM.
  • Cahee has significant high school coaching experience, having developed numerous players for higher competitions.
What's Next

The newly formed coaching staff will focus on recruiting efforts and preparing the team for the upcoming season. Building rapport with players and establishing a cohesive game plan will be their immediate priorities.

Bottom Line

The hiring of Bolfing and Cahee signals a commitment to merging past and present favorites into the McNeese program, aiming to leverage their strong ties and coaching expertise to enhance team performance and recruitment.
