Mike Ferriter leaving Idaho State for Montana

Idaho State football coach Mike Ferriter has been hired to coach inside wide receivers at the University of Montana, according to the website FootballScoop.

Ferriter joined the Bengals coaching staff for the 2013 season and headed up the inside wide receivers the past two years. Ferriter is just the latest addition to join new Grizzlies coach Bob Stitt’s staff. UM hired Stitt this offseason to replace the retired Mick Delaney.

Ferriter was a wide receiver at Montana from 2005-08 and a team captain for the 2008 squad that reached the national championship game.

In 2014, Ferriter was part of an ISU staff that helped the Bengals go 8-4 and finish ranked No. 24 in the nation.
Under Ferriter, Idaho State inside wide receivers and tight ends had 132 catches for 1,857 yards and 14 touchdowns last season.

BAILEY NAMED COORDINATOR OF THE YEAR

Idaho State associated head coach and offensive coordinator Don Bailey has been named the FCS coordinator of the year by FootballScoop.

Bailey engineered a Bengals offensive attack that averaged 562 yards and 40.3 points per game. With senior quarterback Justin Arias at the helm, ISU led the nation in passing yards per game (339.7) and touchdown passes (38).

A Portland State graduate, Bailey arrived at Idaho State in 2011 to work with Bengals head coach Mike Kramer. The two also coached together at Montana State from 2001-2006.

Bailey will receive his coordinator of the year award at the American Football Coaches Association later this month.
