The loss will be felt by the Bulls, who just recently said goodbye to head coach Alex Golesh. Golesh is now the head coach at the University of Auburn.
Still, there is hope for the future of the football program. The Bulls hired former Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Harline as their new head coach, and the on-campus stadium is on track to be finished by fall 2027.
