In 1969, he became the defensive coordinator at Cal State Hayward.
In 1970, he became the secondary coach at California for two seasons, and in 1972 moved to BYU for a season.
He was the offensive line coach in 1973 at UCLA under Pepper Rodgers and continued under Dick Vermeil in 1974; he moved to linebackers coach in 1975, when UCLA won the Pac-8 title and upset top-ranked Ohio State 23–10 in the Rose Bowl.

Following UCLA's Rose Bowl victory over Ohio State in January 1976, Criner was hired as the head coach at Boise State, replacing Tony Knap, who had departed for UNLV.
At the time, Boise State was a strong Division II program in the Big Sky Conference, and had won three consecutive conference titles.
Criner's first contract at BSU was for one year at $24,200.
The Broncos won the conference title again in his second season in 1977, and the conference moved up to the newly formed Division I-AA in 1978.
Boise State went undefeated in conference in 1979, but were ineligible for the Big Sky title or the I-AA playoffs; they had been placed on probation for improper scouting late in the 1978 season.
