Western Carolina Elevates Ricky Logo

Cullowhee, N.C. - Western Carolina head football coach Kent Briggs
announced that Ricky Logo has been named assistant head coach.
Logo joined the staff this past February as the defensive line coach.

"I am very excited to elevate Ricky Logo to assistant head coach,"
Briggs said. "His leadership qualities and his outstanding coaching
organization will greatly enhance our football program. I have full
confidence that Ricky will do an excellent job with the added
administrative responsibilities that goes with this appointment."

Logo spent the past seven seasons as the defensive line coach at
Chattanooga, including one season (1999) as defensive coordinator. Under
his direction, Moc defensive tackle Tyler Unzicker earned All-American
honors this past fall, while being tabbed All-Southern Conference. Logo
also coached All-SoCon performers Kareem Robinson and Kenny Sanders.

Logo's association with Briggs dates back to when Logo was a player at
North Carolina State (1988-92) and Briggs was an assistant coach. Logo
was an All-American defensive tackle with the Wolfpack and played in
three collegiate all-star games, including the Hula Bowl, East-West
Shrine Game and the Japan Bowl. The 1992 N.C. State graduate signed as a
free agent with the Detroit Lions, but suffered a career-ending injury
during his first season.

Western Carolina will close its first week of Spring Practice with a
session in full gear on Friday and the team's first full contact
practice on Saturday morning. The Catamounts will continue drills until
Saturday, April 13, when the Department of Athletics hosts "Catamounts
Spring Sports Day." Festivities on the 13th begin at 1:00 pm, as
Western's Baseball team hosts the College of Charleston. The baseball
game will be followed by a Barbeque at Whitmire Stadium at 4:00 pm, with
the Spring Game set to start at 5:00 pm. The cost of the barbeque will
be $5 per person. However, there will not be a charge for fans attending
the Spring Game.
