Ash promoted Montana State's second-year quarterbacks coach to Assistant Head Coach and Co-Offensive Coordinator, a move Ash said reflects Svoboda's duties in the Bobcat program. "This recognizes the role Jim plays for us, and the wealth of experience he has gained over the course of his career. He plays an integral role in our success."
Svoboda joined Ash's staff last summer from UCLA, where he had coached from 2004-06, including the last season as the Bruins' offensive coordinator.
A finalist for the 2005 Frank Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant football coach, Svoboda graduated from Northwestern (Ia.) in 1983.
He served as assistant coach at his alma mater in 1983, and has coached at Eastern New Mexico (1985-86), Nebraska Wesleyan (1987), and Northwest Missouri (1994-2003) before moving to UCLA. He was also head coach at Nebraska Wesleyan from 1988-93, earning league coach of the year honors three times.
According to Ash, Svoboda and Bobcat offensive coordinator Dale Ploessl collaborate on MSU's offensive design. "Dale has found Jim to be a valuable resource," Ash said. "He brings a unique perspective to our program."
