Farewell, Dan

Executive Director of Athletics Dan Coonan takes a new post in Los Angeles.

Executive Director of Athletics for the past 11 years, Dan Coonan announced in April that he’d accepted a new role in his hometown of Los Angeles: executive director of development for the archdiocese. He has infused leadership, character, sportsmanship, and commitment to Bronco Athletics. That includes 350 student-athletes competing across 20 NCAA sports and 18 club sports at the University. We wish him Godspeed.
