College

Kaligis played for the Washington Huskies from 1990 to 1994, where was an All-American in the shot put[1] and starred on the football team.

Coaching

Following his college football playing career, Kaligis began a college football coaching career with stints at Western Washington, Washington, Montana, and Wyoming.

In 2012, Kaligis acted as interim head coach for Wyoming against Boise State while head coach Dave Christensen served a one-game suspension following a profanity-laced tirade after a loss to Air Force a week earlier.[2] However, Wyoming credits the entire season to Christensen.[3] On December 2, 2021 it was announced Washington State University had hired Kaligis as both Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Tackles Coach.
