With the 2011 season on the horizon Incarnate Word has announced two additions to the football staff.
Coach Mike Santiago said Michael Briglin and Larry Moore are on board as the Cardinals prepare for the University's third season of competition and it's second in the Lone Star Conference.
Briglin worked on staff during the 2010 season as a graduate assistant and now he has moved to fulltime status as the running backs coach.
Prior to coming to UIW Briglin was head of the National Football League's development program in Hawaii. Over three years his teams won three championships. He also was linebackers coach at Moanalua High School, a divisional champion in Hawaii.
Briglin is a graduate of Oswego State University in New York. He holds certifications in supervision and management through US military programs. While in the Army he played rugby.
Moore over the previous two years was the offensive line coach at Ohio's Central State University. At Incarnate Word he will coach the tight ends.
After he finished his collegiate eligibility at Grossmont Junior College and Brigham Young University, Moore played in 98 games, 75 as a starter, in the National Football League. Between 1997 and 2006 he played center and offensive guard with Seattle, Indianapolis, Washington and Cincinnati. He was an offensive captain with both the Colts and Redskins.
After his NFL playing days he coached tight ends at Bridgewater College before working internships with Cincinnati and Indianapolis of the NFL.
Incarnate Word's Cardinals will report for fall drills in mid-August before opening the 2011 season on September 3 with a non-conference home game against East Central Oklahoma.
