Kris McCullough to be named UTPB head football coach

Sources have indicated to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football that Kris McCullough will become the second head coach in UTPB program history. McCullough has spent the last three years on the staff at East Central University, where he began as quarterbacks coach and special teams coordinator before being elevated to head coach in 2022.

McCullough led the Tigers to a 9-3 record and a 38-21 win over Texas A&M-Kingsville in the Fun Town RV Heritage Bowl. The American Football Coaches Association selected him to attend its 2023 35 under 35 Leadership Institute. He was the only Division II coach selected to attend.
