Coaching career

Isphording began his coaching career as a graduate student at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas, serving as the Tigers' quarterbacks coach from 1994 to 1996. After leaving Fort Hays State, he was the quarterbacks and wide receivers coach at the Colorado School of Mines for three years.

Prior or the 2024 season he and new offensive coordinator Brian Smith swapped positions and he took over as passing game coordinator.
