“I certainly regret the timing of this move, however, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities sometimes come at inopportune moments. I am extremely appreciative of my time in Pocatello and at Idaho State, and I believe in the future of this program. I wish the City of Pocatello and Bengal Athletics great success, and I know this department is moving in a great direction,” Ragle said in the release.

Multiple sources report Ragle will be an assistant under new Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham.
