Glanville talks very ecstatically about Fetter, who is a holdover from the previous regime. Seems Glanville went searching nationally for a DLine coach and found the best one he could already on his Big Sky team's staff...

Josh Fetter Named Defensive Line Coach

Josh Fetter is the most recent assistant to be named to new Portland State Football Coach Jerry Glanville’s staff. Glanville has selected Fetter as his defensive line coach.

In 2006, Fetter coached defensive ends for Portland State with great success. The Viking defense led the Big Sky in turnover margin, pass efficiency defense, sacks per game, tackles for loss, third-down defense, fourth-down defense and red-zone defense. One of Fetter’s players, Cole Smith, earned second team All-Big Sky Conference, Academic All-Big Sky and Academic All-District honors.

Like wide receivers coach Jim Craft, Fetter is a holdover from Tim Walsh’s staff. He expressed to Glanville his strong desire to remain a Viking.

"We interviewed defensive line coaches across the country and it became obvious the best one was right here in the office,” said Glanville. “When I narrowed it down between Josh and the last visiting coach, Josh suggested we put them both in a closet and the one that walks out would be the coach. Right then, I knew Josh was the right guy."
