Swan, who had spent the past 15 seasons as a Wildcats’ assistant, had been Weber State’s special teams coordinator/inside linebackers coach for the past two seasons.
Swan has coached eight All-Americans, including two-time selections linebacker LeGrand Toia, kick returner Rashid Shaheed and special teams standout Brady May.
