STILLWATER - Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy has announced the hiring of Kasey Dunn as the Cowboys' running back coach.
Dunn spent the past year as the receivers coach at Southern Mississippi, where he worked for former OSU offensive coordinator and now Golden Eagles head coach Larry Fedora. Prior to his move to Hattiesburg, Dunn spent two years coaching running backs in the National Football League with the Seattle Seahawks.
"Kasey is a good fit for our program," Gundy said. "He has a wealth of experience coaching running backs and receivers, which is a great benefit in our offense. He's a good recruiter and he will provide discipline and he will instill a strong work ethic in our running backs." As a player, Dunn was a three-time All-America receiver at the University of Idaho and played in both the Canadian Football League and the National Football League (Houston).
In addition to Southern Miss and the Seahawks, his coaching stops have included the University of Arizona, where he tutored three NFL running backs, the Denver Broncos (internship), TCU, Washington State, New Mexico and Baylor. He served as assistant head coach at both Washington State and Baylor. He began his full-time coaching career at the University of San Diego. He is a native San Diegan.
Dunn has enjoyed ample team success during his career. He was on the staff that helped Washington State to the Rose Bowl in 2003 and consecutive bowl games for the first time in school history. At TCU, where he coached cornerbacks, he was part of an 11-win team and he was at New Mexico when the Lobos appeared in the Insight Bowl.
Dunn and his wife, Janelle, have two daughters: Kayla and Lauren.
