BYU head football coach Bronco Mendenhall on Tuesday promoted quarterbacks coach Brandon Doman to offensive coordinator and picked graduate assistant Kelly Poppinga as outside linebackers coach.

Doman replaces Robert Anae, a member of BYU's 1984 national championship team, who resigned Thursday under pressure.

Doman will continue to coach the quarterbacks as he has the past six years. He tutored two players now in the NFL - John Beck and Max Hall - and helped Jake Heaps break all BYU freshman quarterback records this past season.

Doman led the Cougars to a 14-2 record as a starting quarterback from 1998-2001.

Poppinga, another former BYU player, has been a defensive graduate assistant and intern on Mendenhall's staff the past two years.
