Mike Hudson has joined The University of Montana football coaching staff, announced Griz head coach Bobby Hauck. Hudson, who will work with the cornerbacks, began his duties at UM Thursday.
Hudson, 41, has 18 years of collegiate coaching experience, including 15 seasons at the Division I-AA level. He has had coaching stints at Sam Houston State, Texas State University-San Marcos, Trinity University, and the University of New Mexico.
"Mike is a great addition to our staff, due to his experience and his coaching ability," Hauck said. "He recently coached at a major I-AA school and a team that we played three times in the last two seasons, including once in a national semifinal game. He brings a lot of schematic knowledge, and I think that his coaching style will fit in well with our staff."
Hudson comes to Montana after a two-year stint at Sam Houston State. Last season he was the defensive coordinator for the Bearkats, and the previous year he served as their defensive line coach. Montana played SHSU in a Division I-AA semifinal game in Missoula last year, the Griz winning 34-13, while the Bearkats had defeated UM 41-29 in Huntsville earlier in 2004. Last year Sam Houston State registered the biggest turnaround in I-AA history, going 11-3, compared to a 2-9 record in 2003.
He had numerous coaching and administrative responsibilities at Texas State University-San Marcus, from 1995-2002. Prior to that he had coaching stints at the University of New Mexico (1994) and Trinity University (1992 and 1993). He began his college coaching career at Texas State-San Marcos and was there from 1987-1991, rejoining that program in 1995.
Hudson earned a B.S. degree in kinesiology from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 1994. He was born in Bryan, Texas, and raised in San Antonio. He played collegiate football at Angelo State University.
Mike and his wife Dyan have two children: Gordon 8, and Loryn 6.
