At Montana State
Brian Wright has spent his first two seasons at Montana State debunking the notion that the transition to a new offensive system is inherently difficult. Wright's two Bobcat offenses, led by dynamic quarterback DeNarius McGhee, averaged 440.6 yards per game, easily the most productive two-year span in school history. After leading the Big Sky in scoring offense, total offense and passing offense in 2010, Wright's unit topped the league in scoring offense and total offense in Big Sky games in 2011. Wright handed the reigns, in his first season at MSU, to redshirt freshman quarterback McGhee, who was named Big Sky Offensive Co-MVP, a first at MSU since 1984, and National Freshman of the Year by one organization.

At Youngstown State
Wright came to Montana State after nine years at perennial FCS power Youngstown State University. Wright joined the Penguins' staff in 2001 as quarterbacks coach, working also as offensive coordinator from 2005-09. Wright helped engineer record-setting offenses at Youngstown State, with the team winning two Gateway Conference championships and advancing to the 2006 FCS final four.

At Walsh
He returned to Walsh where he first began working with wide receivers (1998) and was then elevated to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach where he served from 1999-00.

At Youngstown State
Wright served as an offensive GA at Youngstown State in 1997 where his primary responsibilities focused with the National Champion Youngstown Penguins' receivers.

At Walsh
He worked as a graduate assistant at Walsh University from 1995-96.

At Wooster
Wright began his coach career as a collegiate senior, following a career-ending leg injury (1994).
