Isaac Parker is no longer head football coach at Willamette. His name and bio have been unpublished from the school's athletics website.

He had been head coach of the Bearcats since the 2019 season, a stretch of immense struggling for the program. When Willamette beat La Verne 24-21 in Week 1, it was just the fifth win since the coaching transition, against 25 defeats.

Tim Rude, in his third year on the Willamette staff, is listed as interim head coach for the 2023 season. The Bearcats play at Lewis & Clark on Saturday, Sept. 9.

No public statements have been issued, other than to confirm Parker's employment status as no longer being employed by the school.
