Coaching bio

The son of Everett Community College's longtime football coach, Price made quite a name for himself over the years. As coach of WSU, Price took the Cougars to two Rose Bowls. He had a 20-5 record in his final two seasons at WSU before taking a job at the University of Alabama. He was fired before his first season because of a highly-publicized, off-the-field incident, and Price went on to take a job at the University of Texas-El Paso. He is 25-23 in four seasons at UTEP.
