Provo • BYU football coach Kalani Sitake continues to shuffle his coaching staff after last year’s disappointing 4-9 record left the Cougars out of a bowl game for the first time since 2004.
Sitake announced Friday that longtime defensive coach Steve Kaufusi is stepping down “to pursue other interests” and will be replaced by Weber State assistant Preston Hadley on the defensive staff.
Kaufusi was at BYU for 16 years and most recently coached the linebackers. Hadley, a former BYU defensive back, will coach the safeties.
BYU still has an open position for a 10th assistant coach.
