Lehnerz, an assistant coach under Charlie Hall for 10 years, including the past two as defensive coordinator, succeeds Hall, who moved to Southern Oregon University. He will have to break in a new quarterback after the graduation of Tucker Atteberry (pictured), who completed 180 of 284 passes for 2,387 yards, 22 touchdowns and four interceptions last season. Junior-to-be Cade Swenson figures to be a leading candidate.
