ASHLAND – Ready for a new phase of his football coaching career, Greg Stewart will return to where it New SOU head coach Berk Brown announced Wednesday that Stewart, an SOU alum and member of the staff from 2008-16, is back to take over as the Raiders’ offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.
Stewart was at College of Idaho for the last three seasons, serving as the run-game coordinator, offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator.”He’s going to bring a level of energy and enthusiasm to the offensive side that this program has really missed since he left,” Brown said. “His ability to recruit and relate with student-athletes is extremely special. Getting him back here was a top priority and it’s exciting to see it happen.”

After playing as SOU’s starting fullback and a member of the special teams unit for two seasons in 2006-07, Stewart spent his first eight seasons on staff as the Raiders’ running backs coach. He oversaw four 1,000-yard rushers during that time, and after SOU posted 214.5 rushing yards per game in 2015 – still the team’s highest mark since ’03 – the late Craig Howard promoted him to offensive line coach.

He departed in 2016 as a national champion and made two stops before landing at C of I: Central Washington, where he was a running backs coach and video coordinator in 2017-18, and Eastern Washington, where he was an offensive analyst and assistant offensive line coach for the FCS’s top-ranked offense in 2019-20.

At C of I, Stewart oversaw four all-conference selections as the Yotes finished atop the Frontier standings every season during his tenure. In 2022 they recorded the 15th-most rushing yards per game and per carry in the NAIA.

“I’m just glad to be home and it feels right being back in these hallways, seeing Raider Stadium and Grizzly Peak,” Stewart said. “Knowing what this institution has done for me and what we’ve accomplished, I love this place to death and can’t wait to get to work.”

Stewart, a product of Vancouver, Wash., and his wife, Necole, have two children: a daughter, Marlie, and a son, Jimmy.
