WASHINGTON

The Coaches

Head Coach

Keith Gilbertson

A well-respected coach in the Pacific Northwest for more than 20 years, and a long-time assistant coach at Washington, Keith Gilbertson was named the Huskies’ head coach just weeks before the start of the 2003 season. During his inaugural season as head coach, he directed Washing-ton to a 6-6 record, highlighted by the program’s sixth consecutive victory against cross-state rival Washington State in the Apple Cup.

Gilbertson’s relationship with Husky football first started when he was a youngster growing up in nearby Everett. He would often attend Husky games, buying a one dollar ticket to sit in the inexpensive endzone seats. When presented the opportunity to join Don James’ UW staff in 1976 as a graduate assistant, he jumped at the chance. Since that time he has coached in the professional ranks, directed two other college programs and made several stops back with the Huskies.

The 2004 season will be the 10th year of coaching at Washington for Gilbertson. He is currently in his third term of service with the Husky program. He was a graduate assistant coach in 1976, an assistant coach from 1989-91 and again from 1999-2002.

Gilbertson is the 24th head coach in the program’s history. When he accepted the job at age 55, he became the oldest individual to be named Washington’s head coach.

Gilbertson’s previous head coaching experience includes stints at Idaho (1986-88) and California (1992-95). He has a combined record of 48-35 at those two schools over seven seasons. His overall record as a head coach now stands at 54-41.

Gilbertson had been the Huskies’ offensive coordinator from 2000-2002. He was also a graduate assistant coach at the UW in 1976, an offensive line coach in 1998-90 and the offensive coordinator in the national

champion-ship season of 1991. In 1999, he returned to Washington as assistant head coach and tight ends coach before being named offensive coordi-nator prior to the 2000 season.

In his two terms as the UW’s offensive coordina-tor, Gilbertson built a reputation for varied and potent offenses. Gilbertson was instru-mental in developing Washington’s offense into one of the most ex-plosive in the nation

be-tween 1989 and 1991. He was the Huskies’ offensive line coach his first two seasons and took over as the offensive coordinator in 1991 when Washing-ton won the national championship. The 1991 WashingWashing-ton team led the Pac-10 in total offense, rushing offense and scoring offense, relying on a balanced attack

In 2002, that offense was the most potent passing attack ever seen not only at Washington, but in the Pac-10. Junior quarterback Cody Pickett smashed the Pac-10 record for single-season passing yardage and comple-tions while the UW threw for 4,501 yards as a team, breaking the old Pac-10 record by 712 yards.

In 2001, with a sophomore Pickett taking over the signalcalling, the Husky offense was second in the Pac-10 in passing, averaging 279.5 yards per game. A year earlier, behind senior quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo, UW’s option-oriented rushing attack led the Pac-10 and was 16th nationally. The Huskies’ ability to come from behind in the fourth quarter helped UW to the Pac-10 title and the 2001 Rose Bowl Championship.

Gilbertson began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Idaho State (1971-74) and earned a degree in education from Western Washing-ton, where he was a grad assistant in 1975.

After serving the 1976 season as a grad assistant at Washington for Don James, he was the offensive coordinator at Utah State from 1977 to 1981. In 1982 he joined Dennis Erickson’s staff at Idaho for one season as the offensive coordinator. The Vandals recorded an 8-3 regular-season record

and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA I-AA playoffs.

For three seasons, from 1983-85, he coached in the USFL for the Los Angeles Express. He returned to Idaho in 1985 as the offensive coordinator and helped the Vandals to a 9-2 regular-season record and another trip to the NCAA playoffs. The following season he took over as Idaho’s head coach when Erickson was named head coach at Washington State.

Gilbertson led the Vandals to an 11-2 record in 1988, the best mark in school history. That year Idaho advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA semifinals and he was named the Big Sky Conference coach of the year. His 1987 and 1988 teams both won the Big Sky championships. His .757 career winning percentage is still the highest in Idaho history.

His three Vandal teams produced a combined 28-9 record and advanced to the I-AA playoffs all three seasons. When he left Idaho, his winning percentage (.757) ranked as the second best mark in the history of the Big Sky Conference. His winning percentage of .826 in conference games (19-4) was the best in league history.

After working on James’ staff at Washington from 1989-91, Gilbertson left the Huskies following the team’s 1991 national championship season to take over as the head coach at California. His four-year stint as the Golden Bears’ coach was highlighted by the 1993 team that posted a 9-4 record and defeated Iowa 37-3 in the Alamo Bowl. That win stands as California’s last bowl victory. Gilbertson was also the last Cal coach to pin a loss on arch-rival Stanford until 2002.

Following his head coaching tenure at California, Gilbertson worked as an assistant coach for the Seattle Seahawks on Erickson’s staff for three seasons. In 1996 he served as a defensive specialist and took over as the tight ends coach for the 1997 and 1998 seasons.

Gilbertson grew up in Snohomish, Wash., where his father, Keith, Sr., has been a long-time prep coach. He attended Snohomish High School before going on to play football at Central Washington in 1967, Columbia Basin Junior College in 1968, and Hawaii from 1969-70.

He later returned to earn his bachelor’s degree in social sciences from Central Washington in 1971. Gilbertson earned a degree in education from Western Washington in 1974.

Born in Snohomish on May 15, 1948, he attended Snohomish High School. Gilbertson and his wife, Barbara, were married in 1988 and have two children, Kristin and David. Gilbertson also has an adult daughter, Ann, who resides in Los Angeles.

“Those who know Gilbertson call him a players’ coach and a great motivator. They say he fosters a sense of family with his players, but never lets them forget that he is the patriarch. He is a patient listener who doesn’t have to scream at players to make his point. And for his fair treatment, the players respond by playing their hearts out for him.”

– Gary Nelson, Everett Herald

“He and I grew up in the same place, doing the same thing: Going to Husky game sand watching Jim Owens, (Bob) Schloredt, (Don) McKeta, and Jim Lambright. Since Don James was there, that’s the place he wanted to coach. His love for Washington makes him very effective for that job.”

– Dennis Erickson, San Francisco 49ers Head Coach and childhood friend of Gilbertson

“All he wants to do is recruit kids, coach then and play football. He’s not a politician; he’s a football coach. …That’s what they got. They got a real, good, solid football man.”

– Don James, former University of Washington Head Coach

“He does a good job remembering what it’s like being a player. If you go out and do your best - that’s all he expects. If you can do that for him, he’s happy.”

– Ed Cunningham, former Husky Center

“Good thing his college eligibility has expired, or Gilbertson’s first order of business would be to issue himself a gold helmet and purple shirt, drop down in a four-point stance and finally see what he could do. He’s not unlike the audacious kid in high school who was rejected by the homecoming queen but couldn’t get over her, to the point he pursued her through adulthood until she finally gave in to his persistence.”

– Dan Raley, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“I’ve been around him long enough to know what he’s like. He’s real fiery and excited. He’s a little bit older, a little cranky. He’s kind of a tough guy kind of guy. He’ll develop respect real quick and demands it. Everybody knows he’s a smart guy and knows football. I think he was born to do this.”

-Greg Carothers, former player and 2003 team Co-Captain

“One of his strengths is his ability to communicate with the players. A lot of coaches have great knowledge and expertise, but don’t seem to get that across to the players as well as guys like Keith. The players sense that Keith really cares for them and is on their side trying to help them, and they respond in a big way.”

– Skip Hall, former Husky assistant coach

“When Keith Gilbertson was hired as an assistant coach after the 1988 season, the Washington Huskies were the second-best college football team in the state. Three years later, the Huskies, ranked No. 3 in the nation, are contending for the national cham-pionship. The innovative Gilbertson, has had a lot to do with Washington’s success.”

– Jim Cour, The Associated Press

“Gilbertson’s down-to-earth nature has im-pressed players, alumni and reporters alike. It goes back to his roots, in Snohomish County, which is gaining a reputation as the West Coast cradle of coaches, our version of Massillon, Ohio.”

– Blaine Newnham, Seattle Times

“Things just changed, it seemed, overnight. Before, in the offensive-line meetings, a couple of guys would sit here, a couple over there, more over there. He said ‘Hey, why don’t you guys try sitting together?’ Thurs-day night, all the offensive linemen would have pizza together. Before, we never even would have thought of that.”

– Kris Rongen, former Husky Offensive

“Keith Gilbertson isn’t one to sugarcoat the truth. Ask any of his players. The University

of Washington offensive coordinator gives it straight and often in decibel levels of Shock and Awe.”

– John Sleeper, Everett Herald

“He knows his place in life and people know not to mess with him. He’s the father. You do what he says and listen to him. He demands that kind of respect. The head man needs to be that way. He needs to be a dictator first.”

HUSKIES

The Coaches

An innovative offensive tactician, John Pettas is in his second season as Washington’s offensive coordinator. Pettas also coaches the Husky quarterbacks. The 2004 season will mark Pettas’ 27th year as a collegiate coach.

Pettas has helped to develop a number of

top collegiate players, including quarterback Cody Pickett and wide receiver Reggie Williams from the 2003 Husky squad. Pickett finished his career as UW’s all-time passing leader with 10,220 yards while Williams stands as the school’s all-time leader in receptions (238) and receiving yards (3,536). Williams was the ninth pick in last year’s NFL draft and Pickett was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the seventh round.

Pettas is in his second tour of duty at Washington. During the 2001 season he worked as a graduate assistant coach, handling the wide receivers.

Prior to rejoining the Husky staff, Pettas was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for John L. Smith at Louisville. The Cardinals went 7-6 and lost to Marshall in the GMAC Bowl. Louisville quarterback Dave Ragone was named Conference USA’s Offensive Player of the Year. As a senior Ragone passed for 2,880 yards and a conference-best 24 touchdowns.

Pettas is no stranger to the Pac-10 coaching circles. From 1995 to 2000 he spent five seasons at Arizona State where he saw time as both running backs and quarterbacks coach before serving as the Sun Devils’ offensive coordinator for the 2000 season.

Under Pettas in 2000, the Sun Devils led the Pac-10 in passing yards per game and finished fifth in the league in scoring. Three members of the ASU offense earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors, including All-American tight end Todd Heap. In 1996, Pettas coached first-team All-Pac-10 Conference quarterback Jake “The Snake”

Plummer, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy balloting, to All-America accolades.

Pettas, who was the quarterbacks and kickers coach at Pacific in 1994, helped lead the Tigers to a 6-5 mark, their best record in 17 years. Pettas followed former ASU assistant Lyle Setencich to Pacific from Cal Poly SLO, where Setencich was the head coach. He served as the offensive coordinator at Cal Poly and also served as coach of the quarterbacks, wide receivers and kickers.

In 1992-93, Pettas served as a coaches’ assistant on defense for the San Francisco 49ers.

Pettas also served as the offensive coordinator and coached quarterbacks, running backs and kickers at Kent State (1990-92). Prior to that, he served as the running backs, kickers and special teams coach at the New Mexico (1988-90) and as the offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Nevada (1978-88).

At Nevada he also coached running backs, kickers and special teams, helping the Wolfpack to the 1978, ’79, ’83, ’85 and ’86 I-AA playoffs. The 1978 and ’86 teams led the nation in scoring and the ’86 squad led the country in total offense.

From 1975 through 1977, Pettas was a graduate assistant and head freshmen coach at Colorado. Before that, he served as the offensive coordinator and head freshman baseball coach at Gonzales Union High School in Salinas, Calif. (1974-75). He also was a graduate assistant for quarterbacks at Cal Poly SLO in 1973.

A 1974 graduate of Cal Poly SLO, Pettas quarterbacked the 1971 and 1972 Mustang teams. He helped guide them to an 8-1-1 record and an appearance in the Camelia Bowl in ’72. As captain of that squad, Pettas earned All-West Coast Conference honorable mention honors.

The 1969 graduate of Monterey (Calif.) High School earned a master’s degree in physical education from Colorado. He and his wife, Lynn, have two children, Amanda (14) and Mallory (12).

10 Defensive Player of the Year Pat Tillman. ASU played in the Sun Bowl and finished the season ranked 14th in both polls.

Starting in 2004, the Pac-10’s defensive player of the year award will be known as the Pat Tillman Award. The conference renamed the trophy to honor Tillman who died in Afghanistan while fighting with the United States Army Rangers.

Snow’s 1996 ASU squad played in the ’97 Rose Bowl game and finished first in the conference in rush defense (98.0), pass defense (104.2) and total defense (306.2). It held Nebraska scoreless in one game and limited the opposition to under 10 points in five games total that season. The team finished the season ranked fourth in the nation in both polls.

Snow coached former Sun Devil defensive standouts such as Craig Newsome, Lenny McGill, Kevin Miniefield and Jason Simmons who each went on to the NFL. At California, Snow tutored the secondary in each of his five seasons in Berkeley, improving the unit each year. His philosophy of man-to-man coverage was a key ingredient in the Golden Bear defensive success. The 1990 and 1991 teams won the first back-to-back bowl games (Copper and Citrus) in school history. The 1991 team moved up as high as sixth in the weekly national rankings and played in the school’s first New Year’s Day bowl game in 33 years.

From 1982-86, the Winters, Calif., native, served on the staff at Boise State for head coaches Lyle Setencich and Jim Criner. Snow was the defensive coordinator for the Broncos in his last four seasons. His 1986 squad was ranked sixth in the nation in total defense, allowing just 269.4 yards per game and recording two shutouts. It also yielded just 80.3 yards on the ground to rank fourth in the nation in that category. In his final three seasons at Boise State, Snow served as assistant to the head coach in addition to his duties as defensive coordinator.

Before arriving at Boise State, Snow spent three years at Laney College in Oakland, CA, where he was the secondary coach in 1979 and the co-defensive coordinator in 1980 and 1981.

Snow attended Sacramento City College (1974-75) and Cal State Hayward (1977-78) where he earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education. He began his coaching career at the high school level with positions at Berkeley High in 1976 and Winters High in 1977-78. Snow was born Dec. 22, 1955, in Woodland, Calif. He and his wife, Debbie, have two sons, Philip (15) and Jacob (12).

One of the most respected defensive coaches on the west coast, Phil Snow is in his second season as the Huskies’ defensive coor-dinator. After coaching the Washington

cornerbacks last season, he will tutor the safeties this season. The 2004 season marks the 17th year that Snow has coached in the Pac-10 Conference.

Before moving to the Pacific Northwest, Snow worked as the defensive coordi-nator and safeties coach at UCLA. In 2001 the Bruin defense ranked first in the Pac-10 in total defense. The unit also finished the season ranked second in the league in rushing defense and scoring defense. In addition, linebacker Robert Thomas, a first round selection by the Rams in the 2002 NFL draft, earned 2001 Pac-10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors. Kenyon Coleman was the defensive winner of the Morris Trophy as the Pac-10’s best lineman.

Prior to joining the UCLA staff Snow spent the previous seven seasons as the defensive coordinator at Arizona State (1994-2000). He was at Arizona State a total of nine years as a member of Bruce Snyder’s staff, and also served on Snyder’s staff while at California from 1987-91.

During his tenure at Arizona State, Snow’s defenses posted five shutouts and held opponents to 10 points or less in 22 games. His defensive units ranked among the top three in scoring defense in the Pac-10 in three of his last five seasons at ASU. In 2000, the Sun Devils ranked first in the nation in fumbles recovered and third in the country in number of turnovers created. The group was headlined by Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year Adam Archuleta and conference Freshman of the Year Terrell Suggs.

In 1999, Snow’s defense finished third in the Pac-10 in scoring defense and featured NFL draft picks Erik Flowers and Junior Ioane on a team that played in the Aloha Bowl. His 1997 group ranked third in the Pac-10, but was first in scoring defense (18.5 ppg). The unit was led by Morris Trophy winner Jeremy Staat and

HUSKIES

The Coaches

Chris

Tormey

Assistant Head Coach

Linebackers

One of the most respected and popular assistant coaches at Washington, Chris Tormey returns to the Husky program after spending the past nine years as a head coach. Tormey will serve as the assistant head coach and coach Washington’s linebackers.

For the past four seasons Tormey directed Nevada to a 16-31 record including a 6-6 mark during the 2003 season. Each season he was at Nevada the Wolfpack’s overall record improved as the team made the transition from the Big West Conference to the Western Athletic Conference during his tenure. Tormey’s team defeated Washington 28-17 in Husky Stadium on Oct. 11, 2003.

Tormey left Washington after the 1994 season to coach at Idaho, his alma mater, Tormey’s teams went 33-23. Tormey’s nine-year record as a head coach was 49-54.

For 11-years, from 1984 to 1994, Tormey worked as an assistant coach at Washington. He coached tight ends, outside linebackers and the secondary. In 1993, he was the acting defensive coordinator and was named to that position by head coach Jim Lambright for the 1994 campaign. During his tenure the Huskies appeared in 10 bowl games and won the 1991 national championship.

Considered an outstanding recruiter, he was responsible for bringing such former Husky greats as Napoleon Kaufman, Mark Brunell and Rashaan Shehee to Montlake.

Tormey’s head coaching resume includes a number of significant milestones at Idaho and Nevada. In 1998 he guided the Vandals to their first bowl game where Idaho defeated Southern Mississippi in the Humanitarian Bowl. His 1999 Idaho team defeated Washington State to become the first Vandal team to beat the Cougars since 1965.

Among his accomplishments were Big West Conference Coach of the Year in 1998 and also being named Big West/Mid-American/NCAA I-A Independent Coach of the Year by The Sporting News that year. He helped the Vandals break school attendance records by averaging more than 25,000 per home game in his last season.

During the 2001 season his Nevada team included Chance Kretschmer, the nation’s leading rusher and his 2002 squad featured Seattle native Nate Burleson, who led the nation in receptions.

A native of Omaha, Neb., Tormey grew up in Spokane where he attended Gonzaga Prep. He was an All-Big-Sky Conference linebacker at Idaho in 1976 and 1977 and earned a total of three letters as a Vandal. He was the team captain as a senior, earning a degree in Education from Idaho in 1978. Following his graduation, he signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins.

Tormey began his college coaching career in 1980 as a graduate assistant at Washington for two years, then took the defensive line coaching position at Idaho in 1982 for two years under head coach Dennis Erickson.

WASHINGTON

The Coaches

Steve Axman returns to Washington for the 2004 campaign after spending last year at UCLA as the Bruins’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Axman’s return will be a tremendous boost to the Husky passing game. He will coach Washington’s wide receivers.

Axman worked at Washington from 1999-2002 as Washington’s quarterbacks coach.

He was the assistant head coach during his last two seasons with the Huskies. During Axman’s last season at Washington, quarterback Cody Pickett became the first quarterback in Pac-10 history to pass for over 4,000 yards in a season, finishing with 4,458. He also set a Pac-10 record with 4,273 yards of total offense. The first Husky quarterback Axman worked with was Marques Tuiasosopo, who finished his outstanding career as the 2000 Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year and MVP of the 2001 Rose Bowl. He was the first UW player to be named the league’s top offensive player since 1983. In 1999, Axman’s first year at the UW, Tuiasosopo became the first player in NCAA history to rush for 200 yards and pass for 300 yards in one game.

Axman came to Washington after working as the quarterback coach at Minnesota in 1998 under head coach Glen Mason. Prior to joining the Golden Gophers’ staff, Axman was the head coach at Northern Arizona from 1990-97. He inherited a NAU program that had experienced just three winning seasons during the 1980s and had never qualified for the Division I-AA postseason playoffs. During his eight years, Axman guided the Lumberjacks to a 48-41 record, making him the second-winningest coach in Northern Arizona’s history.

Axman’s teams were known for their offensive fireworks and averaged 30 points per game over the eight years. His 1996 squad set or tied 14 national records and averaged 43.2 points per game en route to a 9-3 overall record and a 6-1 mark in the Big Sky Conference. That season produced a second-place conference finish, the school’s first postseason appearance and a school-best No. 6 national ranking.

Honored as the Region V Coach of the Year in 1996, Axman’s team led the nation in total offense (522.8 yards per game) and ranked third in passing (311.3 yards per game). The Lumberjacks became the first college football team to produce a 2,000-yard rusher ( Walter Payton Award winner Archie Amerson) and a 3,000-yard passer (Travis Brown) in the same season.

Randy Hart has the longest tenure on the Washington staff as he begins his 17th season in 2004. Hart coaches Washington's defensive linemen.

In his 16 seasons as the Husky defensive line coach, Hart has guided a number of notable players, including Lombardi and Outland

win-ner Steve Emtman, the No. 1 overall pick in the 1992 NFL draft and a consensus All-American. Last season, he coached senior defensive tackle Terry Johnson, who was a second round pick by the Chicago Bears.

A disciple of Ohio State’s legendary Woody Hayes, Hart helped to engineer Washington's dominating defenses that led the Huskies to three consecutive Rose Bowl appearances at the start of the decade. The 1991 unit allowed only 101 points and 1,191 rushing yards in 11 regular-season games. That unit still holds six Husky defensive records.

Also under Hart’s tutelage were 1993 Morris Trophy winner D’Marco Farr, a member of the 2000 Super Bowl Champion St. Louis Rams, and NFLers Dennis Brown, David Richie, Tyrone Rodgers, Jamal Fountaine, Jason Chorak, Jabari Issa, Mac Tuiaea and Larry Tripplett. In 16 seasons, Hart has coached seven all-conference players, three winners of the Morris Trophy (given to the Pac-10’s top defensive and offensive linemen) and two players – Chorak and Emtman – who earned Pac-10 Player of the Year honors.

Hart came to Washington after serving as the defensive line coach at Ohio State, his alma mater, from 1982 to 1987. The return to Columbus also marked the third time he served as an assistant under Earle Bruce. From 1977 to 1981 he was the defensive line coach at Purdue under head coach Jim Young. From 1973-76 Hart coached the defensive line for Bruce at Iowa State.

His first full-time coaching position was at the University of Tampa in 1972, where he was the offensive line coach under Bruce. He served as a graduate assistant at OSU in 1970-71.

Hart graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in education in 1970 and earned a master’s degree in higher education administration,

also from Ohio State, in 1972. He earned three letters as a 6-2, 234-pound offensive guard on the Buckeye football team and played for the Ohio State team that beat USC, 27-16, in the 1969 Rose Bowl. That squad, which posted a perfect 10-0 record, was named the 1968 national champion. Hart was also a member of the Ohio State wrestling team for the 1966 season.

The first time Hart entered Husky Stadium was not as a Husky assistant coach. In 1969, his senior season, Hart was a member of the No. 1-ranked Buckeye squad that defeated Washington 41-14.

Hart's second trip to Husky Stadium came during the 1974 season as an assistant coach for Iowa State. The Huskies won that close matchup 31-28.

Hart, who was born March 9, 1948, in Cleveland, Ohio, lettered three times each in football, wrestling and track at South High in Willoughby, Ohio, served as the team captain, and earned league MVP in football.

Hart and his wife Linda have two sons, Jay and John. John graduated from UW in 2002 as a three-time varsity letterman on the Husky football team.

HUSKIES

The Coaches

During his third season at Washing-ton, Cornell Jackson will switch to the of-fensive side of the ball and coach the Husky running backs. He also takes on the added duties as Washington’s recruiting coordinator.

Jackson has plenty of experience developing top collegiate running backs. He has an impressive resume as a running backs coach. He coached the position from 1996-99 at Arizona State and tutored such Sun Devil standouts as J.R. Redmond, Terry Battle, Jeff Paulk, Terrell Smith, Michael Martin, Delvon Flowers and Bruce Perkins. Five of those players were selected in the NFL draft and Redmond and Battle earned All-Pac-10 honors.

Each season Jackson coached the Sun Devil running backs ASU finished in the top four in the Pac-10 in rushing. The 1996 Arizona State team that advanced to the Rose Bowl led the league with a 248.5 average. The following season the Sun Devils topped the Pac-10 at 193.8 yards per game.

Jackson coached the Husky safeties last year after instructing the UW inside linebackers during his first season at Washington. He helped to coach Marquis Cooper, who led the team in tackles the past two seasons and was drafted by Tampa Bay in the third round of the 2004 NFL Draft.

His current stint at the UW marks the second time during his career he

has coached in the Seattle area. Jackson spent the summer of 1993 with the Seattle Seahawks as the linebackers coach in their minority coaching development program.

Prior to joining the Husky staff, Jackson, 43, worked at the University of Houston. For two seasons Jackson coached the Cougar linebackers. During the 2001 season he tutored Wayne Rogers, who was named Conference USA’s co-Defensive Player of the Year.

No stranger to the Pac-10 and Husky Stadium, Jackson coached in Seattle twice during his four-year tenure as running backs coach at Arizona State from 1996-99.

Jackson began his coaching career as running backs coach at Butler County (Kan.) Community College in 1987 before moving on to Central Missouri State as a graduate assistant coach from 1988-89.

From 1990-91 he worked as the linebackers coach at Utah State and then coached the same position at Pacific from 1992-94. Jackson spent the 1995 season at New Mexico, coaching the linebackers.

Jackson has taken advantage of NFL internship programs to work for several of the league’s teams during their off season. He was an intern coach for linebackers for the Seattle Seahawks in 1993, worked with the St. Louis Rams’ running backs in 1999 and was an intern coach for the Denver Broncos’ running backs in 2001. This summer, he served as an intern with the San Diego Chargers coaching staff, working with linebackers.

Jackson graduated in 1986 from Sterling College in Kansas, where he earned a bachelor's degree in health and physical education. He was a two-time all-conference defensive back in 1982 and 1983 after playing two years at Hinds Junior College in Mississippi.

A native of Jackson, Miss., Jackson, is married to the former Lorri Raser.

HUSKIES

The Coaches

Scott Pelluer is in his second season coach-ing the Husky tight ends, and coordinatcoach-ing Washington’s special teams.

Pelluer is currently in his second coaching stint at Washington. The former Washington

State standout linebacker previously spent the 1996 through 1998 seasons as the UW whip linebackers and safeties coach.

In between his coaching assignments at Washington, he worked for two seasons at Arizona (2001-03), and in private business, and handled the color analyst duties for the Washington State radio network.

At Arizona, Pelluer was the special teams coordinator and linebackers coach. While with the Wildcats, Pelluer coached two-time All-Pac-10 first-team linebacker Lance Briggs, who finished third in the conference in tackles last season.

During his first three-year stay at Washington, Pelluer aided in the development of four players that went on to play in the NFL – safeties Tony Parrish and Hakim Akbar and linebackers John Fiala and Jerry Jensen.

After the 1998 season, Pelluer joined the private sector, helping to develop a major website while also spending time as color commentator on Washington State’s football radio broadcasts. In 2000, he returned to the coaching world, helping lead Skyline High School in Issaquah to the Washington state championship as

defensive coordinator.

Pelluer spent three seasons at Northern Arizona as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach before joining the Husky staff in 1996. Under his direction, the Lumberjacks developed a dominating defense that ended the 1995 season ranked No. 1 in every defensive category in the Big Sky Conference. Also nationally ranked in several areas, Northern Arizona's defense ended the 1995 season giving up an average of 14.8 points per game – the lowest total in the Big Sky Conference since the 1978 season.

Even aside from his coaching, Pelluer is a familiar name in the Northwest. A 1981 graduate of Washington State, he was a four-year starter at outside linebacker for the Cougars and earned honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors his senior season. He was selected to play in the East-West Shrine Game. He finished his career with 240 tackles, including 180 solo tackles. His brother, Steve, was Washington’s starting quarterback from 1981-83, earning Pac-10 offensive player of the year honors in 1983. Arnie, his youngest brother, played linebacker at Stanford from 1984-87.

Prior to his arrival at Northern Arizona, Pelluer coached linebackers and was the recruiting coordinator at Boise State from 1987-92. Pelluer played six years professionally for the New Orleans Saints. He began his NFL career as a fourth-round draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys in 1981. The Saints picked up Pelluer on waivers in 1981.

While in New Orleans, Pelluer played in 65 games. He also participated in many community activities, organizing the “Winning Touch” football camp that raised money for the Louisiana Special Olympics. He also served on the board of directors for the Ronald McDonald House for four years. Pelluer is a member of the American Football Coaches Association.
