Northern Arizona’s offensive coordinator Tim Plough accepted the same position at his alma mater, UC Davis, this week after four years with the Lumberjacks.

With former Boise State and Colorado head coach Dan Hawkins hired at UC Davis in November, Plough moved back to the school he called home for 10 years. Playing quarterback for the Aggies from 2002 to '07, Plough took over as a volunteer assistant in 2008, quarterbacks coach in 2009 and eventually held the role of co-offensive coordinator in 2012.

Plough joined Northern Arizona as the team’s wide receivers coach for two seasons before moving to quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator the past two years. Quarterback Case Cookus earned the STATS FCS Freshman of the Year award in Plough’s first year at the helm of the Northern Arizona offense.

The Lumberjacks led the nation in quarterback efficiency and finished seventh in points scored in 2015. Despite a mix of injuries on offense this past season, Northern Arizona sat 21st in scoring and 16th in pass efficiency.

Plough had been recruiting for the Lumberjacks just a week ago, according to his Twitter account, as the team has looked to bounce back from a 5-6 record, including a 4-4 finish in the Big Sky Conference.

Plough and the Aggies will visit the Lumberjacks in Flagstaff on Oct. 21, 2017.
