Oregon State To Hire Brian Michalowski As Defensive Analyst

Oregon State is set to add another piece to its coaching staff, hiring former Colorado outside linebackers coach Brian Michalowski as a defensive analyst.

Michalowski has already posted to social media about his excitement to join the Beaver family.

"Surrounded by great people in a program that has a distinctive focus on growth/development," Michalowski said. "Let’s get to work."

Additionally, his wife Kristin also posted on Twitter, saying "Corvallis, here we come."

Prior to coming to Corvallis, Michalowski served as the outside linebackers coach for Colorado where he spent the past three seasons. Prior to CU, he spent a year at Georgia under then defensive coordinator Mel Tucker during the '18 season.

Michalowski has also coached at Arizona State, Wyoming, Cologne (Germany), Garden City CC, and Memphis. While he's worked primarily with the outside linebackers during his time in Boulder, he's also served as a defensive coordinator and in a quality control capacity with the secondary.

During his time in Boulder with the Buffs, he's largely credited with helping develop outside linebacker Carson Wells into the NFL player he's likely to be. Wells was the nation's leader in tackles for loss per game in 2020 with nearly three per contest...
