Brent Myers, a coach with 28 years of experience in the Big Sky Conference, has begun his first season as the offensive line coach at the University of Montana, bringing a wealth of knowledge from previous stops at Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona and Weber State.
A fresh start in Missoula
Having entered college football in 1982, Myers has built a reputation for developing linemen who excel in both run blocking and pass protection, a skill set he now hopes to apply to a Montana unit that must replace five senior starters.
The departure of those veterans presents a significant challenge, but Myers views the transition as an opportunity to instill new habits and maintain the program’s competitive edge.
Collaboration and conversation
In a recent conversation with Colter Nuanez, Myers discussed the broader staff transition and the need for continuity as the Griz prepare for the upcoming season.
Veteran coach Bobby Kennedy will join Myers in shaping the line’s development, offering additional mentorship to younger players eager to fill the void left by departing seniors.
Montana’s athletic director praised the hire, noting that Myers’ deep roots in the conference align with the university’s goal of maintaining a competitive edge within the Big Sky.
