New Fresno State football head coach Kalen DeBoer remained in his offensive coordinator role at Indiana through the end of the team's bowl game, but it now appears that he will not be the only Hoosiers assistant now joining the Bulldogs.

Indiana special teams coordinator William Inge will head to Fresno State to fill the defensive coordinator opening on DeBoer's staff, Football Scoop reports. Montana Tech head coach Chuck Morrell is also expected to join the Fresno State staff under DeBoer.

Inge just completed his seventh season at Indiana. His first five years with the Hoosiers came as the team's linebackers coach, while the past two have featured Inge in charge of the special teams under head coach Tom Allen.

Inge, a former Iowa Hawkeyes football player (1993-96), began his coaching career at Northern Iowa University in 2001. He spent four seasons there as the special teams coordinator and then co-defensive coordinator before joining Colorado as the defensive line coach in 2005. Inge spent just one season with the Buffaloes until he took over as the linebackers coach at San Diego State (2006-07).

From San Diego State, Inge then went to Cincinnati for two seasons to serve as the linebackers coach. Inge joined the Buffalo University from 2010-11; then the coach spent one season as the assistant defensive line coach in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills before coming to Indiana in 2013.

When former Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford stepped down due to health problems on Dec. 6, Fresno State was expected to have to wait 14 days to make the hire due to California State University rules. They were able to speed up the process, which DeBoer called "fast and furious" as his wife and two daughters were still in Indiana as he took the podium on campus at his introductory press conference on Dec. 17.

DeBoer comes to Fresno State after spending the one season as Indiana's offensive coordinator. He was previously Fresno State's offensive coordinator for two seasons as the Bulldogs went 22-6 in 2017 and 2018, coming from 1-11 in 2016. He also arrived on campus in time for the Early Signing Day for recruits on Dec. 18.

"This is amazing, sitting here in this room," DeBoer said to begin his opening statement at his press conference. "Not having been here less than three years ago and having learned so much over the past two to three years about Fresno State and being such an integral part of the success that we had.

"It was a dream at some point when I was here to maybe be in this position, it really was. ... I'm excited about the continuity that exists in us quickly taking this thing to even greater heights. I know 12-2 is the best that's ever been and that just happened a year ago - that's my expectation and I'm not shy to put it out there. We're going to win football games here and we're going to do it the right way."
