Rob Talley, who rose to defensive coordinator during eight years on John Lyons' Dartmouth coaching staff and most recently was head football coach at DII Stonehill College, is the subject of a story in California's Chico Enterprise-Record about his new role as director of development for athletics at Chico State. Talley spent two years as a special assistant with the San Francisco 49ers and the move brings his young family back to the area where his wife grew up.

This is an ideal situation because I’m staying in collegiate athletics and doing something I have really grown to love doing.”
