While the official announcement of Aaron Pflugrad's promotion to offensive coordinator has yet to come, Northern Arizona appears to have found his replacement.
Sources say Aaron's father Robin Pflugrad will take over his son's position on the Lumberjacks' coaching staff, with FootballScoop.com the first to report the hire. Northern Arizona also will soon announce Jalil Brown as its new defensive secondary coach.
The elder Pflugrad attended high school with Northern Arizona head coach Jerome Souers as the two grew up together in Oregon. The two coached together at Portland State in the mid-1980s before both moving to Montana and coaching together for nearly another decade.
