Casey should need no introduction to Oregon State fans, but in case you're new, here's his resume. Casey coached Oregon State from 1995 to 2018, leading the team to three national championships, in 2006, 2007 and 2018. He has an all time record of 900-458-6, leading the Beavers in wins by nearly 300.

Prior to his time at Oregon State, Casey coached the George Fox Bruins. After finding success with the Beavers he was offered several jobs by other major schools, but he stayed in Corvallis for the rest of his career. He retired following the 2018 season, after leading the Beavers to their third national championship.
