Boise St hires new defensive assistant coach

Feb 17, 2010 - 11:56 PM BOISE, Idaho(AP) -- Boise State has hired Bob Gregory, the defensive coordinator at California the last eight seasons, to fill a vacancy on the Broncos' coaching staff.

Gregory is a familiar face in Boise. He served as defensive coordinator with the Broncos in 2001.

Boise State coach Chris Petersen announced Wednesday that Gregory will be a defensive assistant coach. But Petersen says he's still working out Gregory's specific coaching assignments.

The Boise State job opened when defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox left for Tennessee and defensive line coach Pete Kwiatkowski was promoted to defensive coordinator by Petersen.
