One of the best Football Championship Subdivision programs has now lost its offensive coordinator and coach to higher-level jobs.
Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin is leaving the program to take the offensive coordinator position at Cal under new coach Justin Wilcox. The announcement was made Monday afternoon after earlier reports indicated Baldwin was making the leap.
Baldwin leaves behind an impressive resume at Eastern Washington which included, among other things, a national championship run during the 2010-11 season.

The news comes just a couple of weeks after Eagles offensive coordinator Troy Taylor took the same job at Utah. Eastern Washington has been a dominant offense recently. In 2015, the team finished No. 1 in the FCS in passing yards per game (401 ypg), No. 2 in total yards per game (529 ypg) and No. 3 in scoring offense (42.4 ppg).
