Bison Name New Coordinator After 5-Year Assistant Tenure

Great Falls, MT - The Great Falls Bison have promoted assistant coach Ryan Thompson to coordinator, a move that comes after five seasons developing talent in the AA program. The Bison posted a 7-3 record in 2025, their best mark since 2018. Thompson's elevation is expected to bolster the team's recruiting efforts, particularly in the Mountain West region. With Thompson at the helm, the Bison will look to maintain their competitive edge in the AA classification, where they've consistently finished in the top half of the standings. The team's summer camp, set to begin in late July, will be closely watched as Thompson implements his new vision for the program. The Bison's 2026 season opener is scheduled for September 3.
