Building Offensive Identity w/ Ryan Lundgren

We are fortunate to have Ryan Lundgren on this episode of the podcast. 

Lundgren was one of the first coaches to appear as a guest back when the podcast started in 2020. 

At the time, he was the associate head coach at the College of Southern Idaho. Lundgren went on to serve as the head coach at Carroll College in Helena, Mont. 

Lundgren is now entering his second year as the associate head coach at Eastern Washington University.
