Boulware began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Texas in 1994, before heading to Northern Illinois as the tight ends and co offensive line coach. He then had stops at Arizona, Stanford, Utah, Iowa State and Auburn before landing at Oklahoma as a running backs and special teams coach in 2013.
He has spent more time at Oklahoma than anywhere else in his career, coaching the likes of Damien Williams, Samaje Perine, Joe Mixon, Rodney Anderson, and the Sooners most recent backs, Kennedy Brooks and Trey Sermon.
He also coached tight ends at Oklahoma from 2013 to 2014.
His ties to Texas run even further than his first ever coaching job, as he played two years as an offensive tackle for the university from 1991-92.
