In their only season under head coach Charlie Ragle, the Bengals were 1–10 (1–7 in Big Sky, last) and played their home games on campus at Holt Arena in Pocatello, Idaho.
Hired in December 2021, Ragle was previously the special teams coach at California of the Pac-12 Conference. After the season, he resigned in late November 2022 to join the staff at Arizona State.
