Bost enters his first year at the Naval Academy as the Director of Football Operations. Bost came to Navy from Virginia Tech where he served as both the senior director of football operations (2021) and the director of football video and technology (2016-20) on Justin Fuente's staff. At Virginia Tech, Bost coordinated team travel, team calendars and schedules and worked closely with all support areas that touch football, including sports medicine, sports nutrition, strength and conditioning, as well as academics and other campus entities. He also assisted the recruiting and personnel staff in coordinating camps and other events involving prospects and their families. In his previous role at Tech, he managed all facets of the football video department. Bost also served as the video coordinator on Fuente's staff at Memphis from 2013-15. Prior to Memphis, Bost worked at North Texas for nine years as the director of video operations. He graduated from Middle Tennessee State in 2003 and worked in that office as both a student and graduate assistant before moving to North Texas. "We couldn't be more excited to have Josh Bost," said Niumatalolo. "He brings a wide variety of skills and expertise to our program. He is a great person and fits perfectly in our culture."
