Mendenhall was in that role for a decade before he took the head coaching job at Virginia in 2015.
Following the 2021 season, Mendenhall abruptly resigned, and he and his wife, Holly, moved to a ranch in Montana.
He has expressed on numerous occasions since resigning that he wants to get back into coaching, but although it was reported that he was a candidate for a few job openings last winter, he was not hired anywhere.
