Boise State football loses one of its key assistant coaches in veteran Caldwell

One of Boise State’s most beloved assistant coaches is moving on.

An athletic department source confirmed Friday that defensive line coach Steve Caldwell has resigned with designs on moving closer to his roots in the southeast.

Arkansas could be a landing spot, as the Razorbacks are reportedly set to hire Texas A&M defensive coordinator John Chavis as their DC. Caldwell is an Arkansas State graduate and was the defensive ends coach at Arkansas from 2010 to 2012. He’s worked extensively in the past with Chavis.

Caldwell, a Missouri native, was among coach Bryan Harsin’s initial staff at Boise State which was put together before the 2014 season.
