Eric Price returns to Montana for the 2026 season as the Grizzlies' wide receivers coach, marking his second year on the Griz staff after joining as an offensive analyst in 2025.
Â
Price brings more than three decades of coaching experience to Montana, including extensive stints at the NFL, UFL, USFL, FBS, and FCS levels. He most recently served as a wide receivers coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Â
Over the course of his career, he has established himself as one of the most experienced offensive coaches in college and professional football, having worked as an offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and wide receivers coach. He has spent 14 seasons as an offensive coordinator and primary play caller, including offensive coordinator roles at Alabama, UTEP, Memphis, and Tulane.
Â
Price's professional experience spans 11 seasons, with stops at the New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, and in spring professional football with the Houston Gamblers and Houston Roughnecks. With the Jaguars, he served as a wide receivers coach and helped the team reach the 2017 AFC Championship Game. Earlier, he was part of a Jets staff under head coach Herm Edwards that won a playoff game in 2001. He recently completed a spring season as offensive coordinator for the UFL's Houston Gamblers, a role he has held since 2023.
Â
His collegiate coaching career has taken him to Penn State, Alabama, Miami, Hawaii, Washington State, UTEP, Memphis, Tulane, Northern Arizona, Cal Poly, Weber State, and now Montana. As a graduate assistant at Miami in 1992-93, he was part of a Hurricanes staff that played in the 1993 national championship game against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
Â
Since 2023, Price has also coached the next generation of quarterbacks and receivers at the Price Elite Passing Academy, a venture he founded with his father, longtime Washington State head coach Mike Price.
