Aurich named Vandal defensive coordinator

Idaho head football coach Jason Eck has named South Dakota special teams coordinator and inside linebackers coach Rob Aurich as the Vandals' defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.

"The opportunity to lead the defense at an historic football program like the University of Idaho is a challenge that I have always looked forward to," Aurich said in a UI news release. "In my time coaching in the Missouri Valley, there is no coach's work I respected more than Jason Eck. His teams were always prepared, violent and blue collar. Sarah and I are very excited to join the Moscow community and to see our daughters grow up in this great area."

Aurich comes to Idaho after four seasons on the staff at South Dakota, where he was special teams coordinator and inside linebackers coach all four seasons.

"I've known Rob since he was a player at Minnesota Duluth and he impressed me as a player. He was an All-American on a national championship team," Eck said. "He is high-energy, smart and has a great personality. This is probably my most important hire, I don't have the expertise and I wanted to get someone that I can really trust. He did a great job as a coordinator at Bemidji State which is a program that did more with less. At South Dakota, I have seen his work up-close and he always impressed me. I am very excited to get Rob out here to lead our defense."
