Early years

Born in Reedley, California, Setencich attended Washington High School in Fresno. After graduation in 1963, he played two years of junior college football at the College of the Sequoias in Visalia. Setencich transferred to Fresno State, where he was a two-year letterman and graduated with a degree in biological sciences (and physical education) in 1967 and served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps.

High school coach

Setencich began his coaching career as a high school assistant at alma mater Washington in 1969, then at Mount Diablo (1970–73) in Concord in the East Bay Area. He was then a head coach at Albany (1974–75) and San Ramon Valley (1976–79) in Danville.

College coach

Setencich moved to collegiate coaching in 1980 as the defensive coordinator at Boise State under head coach Jim Criner. He helped lead BSU to the Big Sky title and the Division I-AA national championship in his first season and the semifinals in 1981. When Criner departed after the 1982 season for Iowa State, Setencich was promoted to head coach.[1][2][3] He posted a 24–20 (.545) record in four seasons; his last in 1986 was the first losing campaign (5–6) for the program in four decades.

He resigned following the season and immediately became head coach at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, where he led the Division II program to a 41–29–2 (.583) mark in seven seasons (1987–1993). Setencich later coached at Pacific (1994) under Chuck Shelton, Arizona State (1995–1996) under Bruce Snyder, and California (1997–2001) under Tom Holmoe.[4] In 2003, he became defensive coordinator at Texas Tech under head coach Mike Leach. During his fifth season, he resigned from that position for personal reasons on September 23, 2007.[5]
