They are led by third-year head coach Bruce Barnum and play their home games at Providence Park, with one home game at Hillsboro Stadium. They are a member of the Big Sky Conference.
Bruce Barnum was head coach of the Portland State Vikings until 2017.
While Bruce Barnum was head coach in 2017, the article does not say whether he continued to be head coach after 2017. Thus it is neither definitely correct nor definitely incorrect that he was head coach until 2017
