Former Montana State and Eastern Washington football coach Mike Kramer is making his third stop in the Big Sky Conference
Kramer was named the 25th head coach at Idaho State, athletic director Jeff Tingey said Monday.
“We are excited to have Mike Kramer join our athletic department,” Tingey said. “He is one of the most successful coaches in Big Sky football history. He has proven himself on the field of competition and he is a coach who is very charismatic. Coach Kramer is a coach who will come in and develop instant relationships in the Pocatello community.”
Kramer, who was the coach at Stadium High School from 1987-88, takes over for former Pacific Lutheran star John Zamberlin, who was fired last week after four seasons. ISU finished its 2010 season with a 1-10 mark. Its only win was over Montana Western, an NAIA team that also posted a 1-10 record.
Kramer coached at Eastern Washington from 1994-99 and at Montana State from 2000-06. He led EWU to its first Big Sky football title in 1997, while MSU shared the crown in 2002, 2003 and 2005.
Kramer has a 77-75 career record, including a 40-43 mark at MSU. The Bobcats posted a 40-32 record over six seasons after an 0-11 showing in 2000.
He was fired by Montana State in the spring of 2007, just days after former Bobcats wide receiver Rick Gatewood was arrested for selling drugs. Kramer was a football operations assistant at Washington State University this season.
