CSUS Adds Two To Coaching Staff

Jim House comes to Sacramento State after spending the past four years at San Diego State. With the Aztecs, he had the same responsibilities he will have with the Hornets. A veteran football coach, House began his career in 1974 at Wyoming. In his 11 years with the Cowboys, he coached the offensive line and linebackers. In 1986, House moved to Montana State where he was the assistant head coach and offensive line coach. The next season he travelled to San Jose State to lead the linebackers and special teams for three years. From 1990-2001, he was the assistant head coach at Nevada.

Michael Orthmann most recently served as a graduate assistant at Baylor where he worked with the tight ends in 2005. Prior to arriving at Baylor, Orthmann was an assistant coach at Southern Oregon, where he was the running backs and tight ends coach. From 2002-03, he was the associate head coach at Northern Arizona, where he helped lead the Lumberjacks to a share of the 2003 Big Sky Conference title and a berth into the 2003 Div. I-AA playoffs.

Sounds like a couple quality pickups for the Hornets.
