Hoover was the OC during Walsh's last years at Portland State. Also coached the offensive line at PSU. When Davis arrived with Glanville, Hoover had to move on and he headed to Eastern Illinois. His name actually was mentioned early on as a possible coaching candidate at PSU after Glanville's firing, but never made any final lists.

Portland State's press release on Oregon Live...

Thoughts and prayers from the Portland State community.
