Former Sacramento State player and coach Angus McClure returned to the Hornets in December 2025. McClure will serve as the associate head coach and offensive line coach.
 
McClure began his association with Sacramento State as a student-athlete where he played football from 1987-91 and later served as a member of the faculty from 1997-2004. He was on the 1988 Hornet team that advanced to the NCAA Division II championship semifinals with an offense which averaged 486.0 yards per game.
 
As the assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Sacramento State where he played a major role in record-breaking offenses. During his tenure, the Hornets set 52 NCAA Division I-AA, Big Sky Conference, or school records. He coached 20 all-Big Sky conference honorees and had six of his players sign NFL contracts. One of McClure's pupils, Lonie Paxton of the Patriots (also Broncos), went on to collect three Super Bowl rings. Another, Marco Cavka, was drafted by the Jets. In addition, five Sacramento State players earned All-American honors and four were chosen to participate in college all-star games. In his seven seasons, the Hornets led the Big Sky in rushing four times (1998, 1999, 2000, 2002).
 
McClure most recently served as an offensive analyst at Kansas from 2024-25. The season before, McClure completed his third stop at Nevada, serving as the run game coordinator/offensive line coach during the 2023 season. His first association with the Wolf Pack began in 1996 as the tight ends coach. He helped the Wolf Pack to the Big West title and Las Vegas Bowl championship. His tight ends produced a school-record 13 touchdowns during the season. Nevada led NCAA Div. I with 527.3 yard per game of total offense and topped The Big West in both rushing and passing.
 
McClure returned to the Wolf Pack for 2018-19 where he coached the offensive line. The Wolf Pack offensive line boasted 1.31 sacks allowed average, which ranked fourth in the Mountain West and was 18th-best in the nation. Under McClure’s guidance the Pack placed two members of its offensive line, Sean Krepsz and Jake Nelson, on the all-Mountain West honorable mention list for the first time. Additionally, Nevada blocked all season for running back Toa Taua, who was named the MW Freshman of the Year. Nevada advanced to bowl games in both seasons, winning the 2018 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl.

From 2020-22, McClure coached at California, mentoring the Golden Bear offensive line. Under his guidance, Golden Bear offensive linemen earned five all-Pac-12 honors.

McClure spent 11 seasons at UCLA where he oversaw the team’s recruiting and coached the offensive and defensive lines during that span. The Bruins’ recruiting classes were ranked among the top 20 each year and he was named among the top 25 recruiters in college football by Rivals in 2023.
 
In addition, UCLA had a defensive lineman selected in eight NFL drafts, including three selected in the first rounds (Datone Jones, Kenny Clark, Takkarist McKinley). UCLA played in eight bowl games during his 11 seasons, earning victories in the 2009 Eagle Bank Bowl, the 2013 Sun Bowl and 2014 Alamo Bowl.
  
Over his time as a Bruin coach, McClure tutored a number of NFL players:  Cassius Marsh (Seahawks/Patriots/49ers/Cardinals/Jaguars/Colts/Steelers/Bears), Datone Jones (Packers/Vikings/Lions/49ers/Cowboys), Kevin McDermott (49ers/Ravens/Vikings), Logan Paulsen (Redskins/Bears/49ers), Matthew Slater (Patriots), Mike Harris (Chargers/Vikings), Nate Chandler (Panthers/Bears), Jeff Baca (Vikings/Chargers), Jeff Locke (Vikings/Colts), Cory Harkey (Rams), Kai Forbath (Redskins/Saints/Vikings), Christian Yount (Browns/Patriots), Takkarist McKinley (Falcons/Raiders/Browns/Titans/Rams/Cowboys/Jets), Eddie Vanderdoes (Raiders/Texans/49erse), Kenny Clark (Packers/Cowboys) and Eli Ankou (Texans/Jaguars/Browns/Colts/Cowboys/Falcons/Bills/Steelers/Titans).
  
McClure went to UCLA after serving as the offensive line/run game coordinator on Turner Gill's staff at Buffalo in 2006. Buffalo scored more points (201) in conference games than any other team in the Mid-American Conference East Division. Running back James Starks earned second team all-MAC honors and was an honorable mention Freshman All-American by The Sporting News. Offensive lineman Jamie Richard was drafted and became a starter for the Indianapolis Colts.
  
McClure spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons as an assistant on Bill Callahan's staff at Nebraska. He assisted with the offensive line, coaching tackles, as well as working with the special teams. The Cornhuskers defeated Michigan in the 2005 Alamo Bowl. McClure pupil Matt Slauson was named Freshman All-American. As a Husker coach, McClure tutored a number of NFL bound players: Matt Slauson (Jets), Lydon Murtha (Dolphins), Chris Patrick (Giants) and Sam Koch (Ravens).
  
McClure has served as a guest coach in several NFL camps over the years, including the Dallas Cowboys (2013), Buffalo Bills (2007, 2006), San Francisco 49ers (2002, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996), Seattle Seahawks (1998) and San Diego Chargers (2011, 2012, 1997).

He began his coaching career at McClatchy High School in Sacramento as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator from 1992-95 while also coaching the offensive line and tight ends.

McClure was a four-sport letterwinner at San Rafael HS in football, basketball, baseball and boxing, as well as a team captain, and never had a losing season in any sport. He was a member of the Hornet program from 1998-91. During that span, he helped Sacramento State to a berth in the NCAA Div. II semifinals and went 5-0 against UC Davis in the Causeway Classic.
