Cal Poly Names Former Cal Offensive Coordinator Beau Baldwin Head Coach

Former Cal offensive coordinator Beau Baldwin was named head coach of the Cal Poly football program today, announced this evening in San Luis Obispo.

Baldwin’s making a return to the Big Sky conference where he coached Eastern Washington as a long time offensive coordinator and then head coach, including leading the Eagles to the 2010 NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision national title.

"I'm delighted to introduce Beau Baldwin as our head football coach," said Cal Poly athletic director Don Oberhelman. "Beau is someone I have known and respected for a very long time, and I am so pleased that he is now a member of the Mustang Family.

"His desire to lead and mentor young men, and be an educator is something that is a 'must' at Cal Poly," Oberhelman added. "In addition, he has a proven track record of winning Big Sky and national championships, recruiting top notch student-athletes, graduating his students, and creating NFL opportunities for many. Beau just seems to fit perfectly with Cal Poly."

In Baldwin’s EWU stint, he led the Eagles 58-14 record in Big Sky Conference games and 85-32 overall from 2008-16.

"More than anything, I am just humbled and honored to be a part of the Mustang family and to be a part of a culture of commitment and history that is rich both on and off the field," said Baldwin. "With the coaches and former student-athletes who were here before me, they set an amazing foundation that allows for the opportunity for myself and the program to keep moving in a great direction.”

Baldwin also announced today that he’ll be coaching the Bears in their season finale in the 2019 Redbox Bowl vs. Illinois in Levi’s Stadium December 30^th.
