Joey Boese (pronounced boze-EH) is in his third season as the head football strength and conditioning coach at the University of Illinois in 2018. He joined Lovie Smith’s staff in March 2016 after four seasons as the head strength and conditioning coach for the Fresno State football team.

Boese was instrumental in helping Fresno State win back-to-back conference titles in his first two seasons with the Bulldogs, the first time the program had completed the feat since 1992-93. In his first three seasons at Fresno State, Boese helped develop 14 first-team All-Mountain West selections and six NFL draft picks, including three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Carr. Fresno State’s most success came in 2013, Boese’s second year with the program, when the Bulldogs tied the program record for wins (11) and reached as high as No. 13 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Prior to Fresno State, Boese was the first assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Texas A&M football team from 2008-2011. During his time with the Aggies, Boese coached seven future first-round NFL draft picks, including NFL Super Bowl MVP Von Miller.

Boese also worked as the head strength and conditioning coach for the Texas A&M baseball team from August 2009-July 2011, helping the Aggies reach the 2011 College World Series.


The Southern California native was a two-year starter and four-year letterwinner as a defensive back for Wisconsin from 1998-2001. He was a part of one Sun Bowl and back-to-back Rose Bowl championship squads and was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection. Boese continued his playing career in the Canadian Football League for the Calgary Stampeders from 2003-2006.

Boese earned his bachelor’s degree in communication arts from Wisconsin in 2002 and finished his master’s of science in health, physical education and recreation at Emporia State in 2008. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) and a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), and Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA).

Boese and his wife, Aimee have three sons, Sam, Ben, and Max.

Oddly enough, I like that he has some S&C experience in another sport.  Working with baseball players should add another dimension into his bag of tricks.  Patrick Mahomes credits his play at shortstop for enhancing his QB play.  Knowing how those players move and use muscles (especially shoulders) could really help some players.  I'm thinking of Dre and Uzomah with their chronic shoulder issues

Sounds good to me.

Sounds good and I don’t think I’m jumping the gun at all by saying:
We are getting Von Miller!!!

New Strength and Conditioning coach appears to have the experience and qualifications to do well in the position. Maybe even more important, he's already familiar with Coach Taylor, meaning they should have little difficulty in getting on the same page, without having to go through the awkward period of establishing a new relationship.
