(STATS) – Northwestern State promoted Brad Laird to head football coach on Monday, two days after Jay Thomas coached his final game with the Demons.
Laird returned to his alma mater this past season to serve as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator under Thomas, whose contract was not renewed after five seasons.
Laird is in his third coaching stint with the Demons, having previously served as defensive coordinator under Scott Stoker (2003-05) and Bradley Dale Peveto (2009-11).
As a player, he set Northwestern State’s career passing record with 6,037 yards from 1991-95.
Under Thomas, the Demons posted a 21-36 record, including 15-27 in the Southland Conference, over the last five seasons.
