THE MATT RHULE FILE
Matt
Rhule
Head Coach
Penn State ‘97
8th Season at Temple (2nd as Head Coach)
In December 17, 2012, Matt Rhule returned to North
Broad Street to take the helm as head coach of the Temple
Owls. Following six seasons as one of Al Golden’s top assistants, he joined the New York Giants as the assistant offensive line coach in 2012. He is now in his second year as the
26th Owls head coach and eighth on the Temple campus.
Prior to the start of his first season in charge he offered
that his squad would produce an exciting brand of football
and they would improve as the season progressed. Rhule delivered on those promises as the 2013 Owls produced nearly
400 yards per game of offense (the second best total in school
history). Despite an 0-6 start to the season, the troups never
surrendered and the team never trailed at the start of the
fourth quarter in the second half of the season. The mission
in the 2014 offseason was to learn how to finish out games.
The State College, PA, native, a former player at Penn
State, has 16 years of collegiate coaching experience, including seven seasons at Temple, and six bowl games -- two with
the Owls -- on his resume.
Rhule joined the Giants in the spring of 2012. He
worked closely with Pat Flaherty, who has been the offensive
line coach since 2004. They finished the 2012 campaign at 97, second in the NFC East, and averaged 355 yards of offense
per game. Four New York players, including guard Chris Snee,
were selected to the Pro Bowl.
During his previous tenure at Temple,
Rhule’s role changed several times. In spring
2012, he was promoted
to co-offensive
coordinator
after serving
as the assistant offensive
coordinator and
tight ends
coach as well as
the recruiting coordinator under
Steve Addazio in
2011.
Temple’s
2012 recruiting class
was ranked #1 in the
Mid-American Conference and helped lay
the foundation for the
program's transition
to the Big East Conference.
Under Al Golden,
Rhule was promoted to
offensive coordinator
in the spring of 2008.
He also coached the
TU quarterbacks. He
coached the defensive line in 2006 and
served as the quarterbacks coach and
recruiting coordinator during the 2006
and 2007 seasons.
For three consecutive years, Temple’s
recruiting class was
ranked #1 in the MAC
[2006, 2007, 2008].
In 2011, the
Owls went 9-4 and
played in the fourth
bowl game in school
history, the Gildan
New Mexico Bowl,
where they crushed Wyoming, 37-15 – Temple’s first postseason victory since the 1979 Garden State Bowl. Rhule mentored two-time first-team All-MAC selection TE Evan
Rodriguez. For the second time in Rhule’s tenure, the Owls
set the Temple single-season rushing yardage record and
rushing touchdowns records behind the explosive efforts of
All-MAC junior running backs Bernard Pierce and Matt Brown.
In 2010, Rhule guided the offense to the largest margin of victory in a MAC game. Helping the team to an 8-4 regular-season record, the Owls recorded back-to-back winning
seasons for the first time since 1978-79, including their first
win over a BCS team. The Owls recorded the largest margin of
victory (42 points) in a MAC game against Buffalo. A school
record six offensive players earned All-MAC honors, including
repeat first-team honorees OL Colin Madison, OL Darius Morris, and RB Bernard Pierce as well as first-time honoree TE
Evan Rodriguez.
In 2009, Rhule’s offense helped TU win a single-season
record nine consecutive games en route to a 9-4 overall
record and first-place tie in the MAC East. Under Rhule’s guidance, the Owls set the Temple single-season rushing yardage
record. A school record five offensive players were named AllMAC, including three on the first team. All-American Bernard
Pierce rushed his way into the Temple record book, re-writing
all records for a rookie en route to 2009 MAC Freshman
of the Year honors.
In 2008, Rhule took the reins as offensive coordinator, helping the Owls to their most wins in
nearly two decades. The Owls out-scored their
opponents for the season for the first time since
1990. Rhule coached All-MAC honorees C Alex
Derenthal and school record holder WR Bruce
Francis, while QB Adam DiMichele set the school
record for passing touchdowns with six in the 5552 win over Eastern Michigan. WR Bruce Francis
set the school records for career receiving TDs
(23) and consecutive games with a reception (38).
Rhule arrived in Owl Country after
spending four seasons as an assistant coach
at Western Carolina, including three as assistant head coach.
From 2002 to 2005, Rhule was an
assistant at Western Carolina under
head coach Kent Briggs, serving as
assistant head coach during his
last three seasons. In 2005, he
was offensive line coach and
run game coordinator after directing the linebackers his
first three years. Rhule was
special teams coordinator
during his tenure in Cullowhee (NC). In 2005, the
Catamounts led Division
I-AA in kickoff returns,
averaging 27.44 yards
per return. Sophomore Mike Malone earned first
team
AllSouthern
Conference honors with a
3 1 . 2 9
yards per
kickoff return average, ranking
second nationally. Two offensive linemen and the
team’s punter captured second team
all-league accolades.

In 2004, WCU ranked 12th nationally in total defense and 15th
in pass defense, largely due to the production of Rhule’s linebacker corps. The team’s top five tacklers were linebackers in
its eight man front scheme. In 2003, the Catamounts led the
SoCon in rush defense for the first time in school history.
Rhule arrived at Western Carolina after serving as assistant defensive line coach at UCLA in 2001. He assisted in
coaching five Bruins that earned All PAC-10 honors as the
team posted a 7-4 record under head coach Bob Toledo.
From 1999 to 2000, Rhule served as an assistant coach
at Mid-American Conference member Buffalo, directing the
Bulls defensive line in 2000 and working as assistant defensive line coach in 1999. In 2000, the team’s sack total increased from 12 to 27 utilizing a 3-4 alignment.
Buffalo also earned its first two Division I-A victories that season.
Rhule began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Penn
State in the spring of 1998 before
working at Albright College in Reading, PA for the 1998 season. At Albright, he coached the linebackers in a
4-3 scheme and recruited western and
central Pennsylvania.
Rhule played four seasons at linebacker with the Nittany Lions under Joe
Paterno. A three-time Penn State
Scholar-Athlete, he earned Academic AllBig Ten honors in 1997. He received his
undergraduate degree in political science
before earning his master’s degree in educational psychology from Buffalo in 2003.
Born January 31, 1975, he spent his
childhood in New York City before moving
to State College, PA, as a teenager.
He is married to the former Julie Nibert. The couple has a son, Bryant (9), and a
daughter, Vivienne (1).

wHAT THEY’RE SAYINg
AboUT MATT RHULE . . .
“Matt is a good, young coach. He has very good
command, and is thorough and detailed in his
assignments and with personnel. He has an
outstanding background in the game, and the
players like and respect him. He will be a great
representative for Temple University and leader
of that football program.”
– Tom Coughlin, New York Giants head coach
“From the minute that he stepped foot here and
became our assistant, you could tell he was a guy
that was passionate about football. He loves the
games; he loves being around it. He's a guy who
brings that energy each and every day for us in
the offensive line room. He not only looks at us
up front, but he's able to read things with linebackers and coverage's that actually make an influence on what happens with us up front. Not a
lot of guys can do that. Number one, he brings a
lot of energy; number two, there's not a single
thing that's left undone. He's detail-oriented and
every single person in the room knows exactly
what they have to do regardless of what situation
they're in. For him to be a head coach, he's a
young energetic guy who's passionate about the
game. He loves the game, and most importantly,
aside from all of his knowledge and what he
brings to the game, he's a great guy. He's a great
man, he's a father and he's a character guy who's
going to be able to really help young men
become men."
– OT David Diehl, New York Giants
“What a great day for Matt and Julie Rhule and
the Temple Owls’ Family! Coach Rhule was on
the front line of the transformation that lead to
three straight 8+ winning seasons, two bowl
games, the longest winning streak in school
history and the 2011 New Mexico Bowl
championship. During that span, Matt oversaw
an offense that lead the MAC in several statistical
categories and produced the likes of NFL stars
Evan Rodriguez, Rod Streeter, and Bernard
Pierce. In addition, his professionalism and
leadership were an essential part of the Owls’
transformation to the BIG EAST Conference.
Finally, Matt returns to North Broad Street with
the added experience of having spent one season
under the guidance of World Champion Head
Coach Tom Coughlin. A Pennsylvania native,
Matt will bring stability and continuity to the
Temple Owls and will provide leadership and
vision in the Delaware Valley for years to come.”
– Al Golden, Miami Hurricanes head coach
(former Temple head coach, 2006-10)
“It sounds like we’ve selected a coach who has
knowledge of Temple, who is a good recruiter,
and who has experience on both the collegiate
and professional levels. He should spur the
program on to greater heights.”
– Wayne Hardin, former Temple head coach
(1970-82)
“Matt Rhule knows the entire landscape at
Temple. The players, present and past, trust him.
I’m extremely happy for him and the Owls’ family.”
– Kevin Negandhi (Temple ’97), ESPN SportsCenter
“Coach Rhule is very passionate and genuinely
cares about the guys he coaches. I still have a
good relationship with him, and he played a huge
role in me being in the NFL today.”
– DT Terrance Knighton (Temple ‘09), Denver Broncos
“Passion. Dedication. Toughness. These are the
qualities that turned this program around a few
years ago. Matt was a pillar of these qualities
during our years together at Temple, and he was
a huge part of the turnaround. I'm excited he's
back. I'm excited for our program. Go Owls!”
– TE Steve Maneri (Temple ‘10), Tampa Bay Buccaneers
“I am very excited to learn that Temple has
named Matt Rhule as the new head coach. I look
forward to seeing this new era in Temple football
under his watch. Temple players will all enjoy
playing for him as I have. I'm glad to see him
back, and I have a lot of respect for Coach Rhule."
– RB Bernard Pierce (Temple ‘12), Baltimore
Ravens
“Matt Rhule is a great guy. He will be a good
coach, someone who will make a big
difference on a Temple program on the rise.”
– DE Adrian Robinson (Temple ‘12),
Washington Redskins
“Coach Rhule is a great coach who will connect
with the players and bring the best out of players
and coaches. This is a great move to take the
program to the next level.”
– WR Rod Streater (Temple ‘12), Oakland
Raiders
“Coach Rhule is a great fit for Temple as a head
coach. He knows the program and the area, as
proven through his previous track record on the
staff. I am truly happy to see him in that position
and know his effort will never be questioned.”
– OL Wayne Tribue (Temple ‘12),

Ed
Foley
Assistant Head Coach
Bucknell ‘89
7th Season at Temple
Ed Foley enters his seventh season with Temple University
and second as the assistant head coach and tight ends coach after
two seasons as the director of football operations. Previously he
served as the Owls’ recruiting coordinator and tight ends
coach/assistant offensive line coach for three seasons.
In 2010, his 22nd season as a coach, Foley’s tight ends and
offensive line helped the team to an 8-4 regular-season record.
The Owls recorded back-to-back winning seasons for the first time
since 1978-79. A school record six offensive players earned AllMAC accolades, including first-team honorees TE Evan Rodriguez,
OL Colin Madison, and OL Darius Morris. Madison and Morris became the first repeat first-team All-MAC recipients in school history.
In 2009, the tight ends and offensive line helped TU win a
single-season record nine consecutive games en route to a 9-4
overall record and first-place tie in the MAC East. A school record
five offensive players were named All-MAC, including senior TE
Steve Maneri and four linemen. Juniors Colin Madison and Darius
Morris earned First Team accolades.
In his first season with the Owls in 2008, Foley helped the
Owls to their most wins in nearly two decades. The Owls outscored their opponents for the season for the first time since
1990. Foley also helped Temple bring in its fourth highly touted recruiting class during the Golden Era.
A native of Cherry Hill, NJ, Foley returned to the City of
Brotherly Love after spending three seasons at Hofstra as the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator, and offensive line
coach. The Pride offense blossomed under Foley in his first year
as coordinator, increasing its yardage total from 269 to 388 yards
per contest from the previous year. The Pride's scoring output
also increased from 16.8 to 26.9 points per game. Foley also
brought balance to the Pride attack as Hofstra's rushing total was
its highest since 2000 (145 yards/game) and its passing attack netted 243 yards per contest. Charles Sullivan left as the all-time
leader in receptions and yards after catching 86 balls for 991 yards
under Foley's tutelage.
Prior to joining the Pride, Foley served seven years at Fordham University, including two seasons as head coach (2004,
2005). After a 5-6 record in 2004, a season in which the Rams
dropped four games by a touchdown or less, Fordham slipped to
a 2-9 mark in 2005. As Fordham's offensive coordinator and offensive line coach from 1999 through 2003, Foley helped rejuvenate a program that rose to the top of the Patriot League in 2002,
when it won its first-ever league title with a 10-3 record. In 2003,
the Rams compiled a 9-3 overall record and had 12 players named
to the All-Patriot League Team, including six members of the offense, four of whom were named to the first team.
Under Foley's guidance, the Fordham offense set numerous team and individual records. The Rams set a team record for
most rushing yards in a season in 2003, gaining 1,657 yards, while
also setting a school record for most pass completions in a season
with 255. In 2002, Fordham led the Patriot League in passing offense and scoring offense, while finishing second in total offense
and setting a team record for most points in a season. In addition
to winning the Patriot League title that season, the Rams advanced to the NCAA I-AA Playoffs, where they defeated Northeastern University in the first round.
In 2001, Foley helped the Fordham offense develop its first
1,000-yard rusher on the NCAA Division I-AA level, as well as the
first-ever 1,000-yard receiver in Fordham's history. The Rams had
the second-ranked passing offense in the Patriot League in 2001
as well as the second-best scoring offense. In 2000, Foley's offense
established a running game that generated 1,635 yards (an average of 148.6 per game), the most for a Fordham team on the I-AA
level until the 2003 team gained 1,657.
Foley arrived at Fordham after spending the 1998 season
as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Jacksonville University, which sponsored a football team that year for
the first time in the school's history. Foley helped lead the Dolphins to a 4-5 record during their inaugural season, as the offense
scored 271 points in nine games (30.1 ppg). The Dolphin attack
averaged 380 yards per game, a perfectly balanced 190 yards
rushing and passing per game.
Foley also served as an assistant coach at the University of
Pennsylvania from 1991 to 1993, and again from 1995 to 1997,
spending the 1994 season as an assistant at Williams College. At
Penn, Foley coached the tight ends and tackles for five years and
helped the Quakers to a perfect 10-0 record in 1993, when they
also won the Ivy League Championship. Prior to his stint at Penn,
Foley served as the offensive line coach at the State University of
New York (SUNY) at Albany for two years.
Foley was a three-year starter at Bucknell University, playing offensive guard for one season and center for two. During his
junior year, he was named the team's top lineman, and he served
as a captain during his senior year. He earned a bachelor's degree
in psychology from Bucknell in 1989 and a master's degree in educational psychology at SUNY Albany in 1991.
Foley and his wife Rebecca have two sons, Charlie (14) and
Luke (7), and a daughter Sara (5). His brother Glenn was a sevenyear NFL veteran quarterback, playing with the New York Jets and
Seattle Seahawks from 1993 to 2000.

Offensive Coordinator
East Tennessee State ‘99
2nd Season at Temple
Marcus Satterfield enters his second season as the offensive coordinator at Temple University.
In 2013, his first season, his troups amassed nearly 400
offensive yards per game - eclipsed only by the 1979 Owls
team. As offensive coordinator and quarterback coach, Satterfield tutored true freshman P.J. Walker who threw for
2,084 yards and 20 touchdowns in just seven starts.
Satterfield spent the previous four seasons as offensive
coordinator at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
He spent his first three years grooming one of the most talented quarterbacks UTC has ever seen into an NFL draft pick.
Satterfield totally revamped Chattanooga's offense to focus
on the next generation of Mocs. In 2012, UTC switched to a
spread system. The Mocs finished the season ranked fifth in
the SoCon in scoring (25.5 ppg) and eighth in total offense
(349.8 ypg).
B.J. Coleman had an outstanding three-year career
under Satterfield’s tutelage. He was eventually picked in the
seventh round of the NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers,
graduating with a UTC record 52 touchdown passes.
The 2010 season saw UTC rank No. 11 in the nation
with 4,730 yards of total offense, the third highest mark in

Defensive Coordinator
Cal State Hayward ‘78
Phil Snow, who has a wealth of experience in both the collegiate and professional coaching ranks, enters his second season
at Temple University as the defensive coordinator.
He joined the Owls after three seasons as the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Eastern Michigan University.
Under Snow’s guidance, EMU ranked 38th nationally and
third in the MAC in pass defense in 2012. The Eagles gave up just
212.75 yards per game. Senior LB Justin Cudworth and senior DE
Andy Mulumba were second-team All-Mid-American Conference
honorees.
Snow orchestrated a major turnaround during the 2011
campaign, ranking 35th nationally and third in the MAC in
total defense. The Eagles gave up 350.33 yards per game, an
improvement of 103.8 yards per contest. In 12 games, the
Eagles’ defense allowed just 292 points for a total of 24.3
points per game. The last EMU squad to accomplish the
feat was the 1994 team which gave up 275 points
through its 11 contests.
Snow joined the Eagles after four seasons as
an assistant coach with the NFL’s Detroit Lions as
the linebackers coach (2005-08).
Prior to his NFL stint in Detroit, the 57-yearold Snow served as an assistant football coach at
the University of Washington, UCLA, Arizona
State University, the University of California,
Boise State University, and Laney College.
A 1978 graduate of Cal-State Hayward,
Snow began his coaching career on the high
school level, coaching at Berkeley (CA) H.S. in
1976, and at his high school alma mater, Winters (CA) in 1977-78.
From there, Snow joined the Laney (CA)
College football staff in 1979 as a defensive
backs coach before taking over as the defensive
coordinator in 1980 and 1981.
His next stop was Boise State University where
he was an assistant coach from 1982-86. He was a defensive backs coach in his first season at Boise before
becoming the defensive coordinator in 1983 and holding that position through the 1986 season. In addition, he was the top assistant to the head coach from
1984-86. His Boise State defense was ranked sixth in
the nation in 1986.
From Boise, Snow became an assistant coach in
charge of the defensive backs at the University of California from 1987-91. The 1990 and 1991 teams won the
first back-to-back bowl games (Copper and Citrus) in school
history. The 1991 team moved up as high as sixth in the weekly
national rankings and played in the school’s first New Year’s Day
bowl game in 33 years.
After his California experience, Snow became the defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach at Arizona State University from 1992-2000 and saw the 1996 team play in the Rose
Bowl, the 1997 team make the Sun Bowl, while the 1999 and 2000
squads played in the Aloha Bowl. Snow’s 1996 ASU squad finished

season. The Bruin defense ranked first in the
PAC -10 in total defense in Snow’s
first season. The unit also finished
the season ranked second in the
league in rushing defense and scoring defense. In addition, linebacker
Robert Thomas, a first round selection by the Rams in the 2002 NFL
draft, earned 2001 PAC -10 Conference Defensive Player of the

Virginia ‘01
Tyree Foreman, who has coached at Temple since 2007, is
in his eighth season as the Owls’ running backs coach.
Temple has a tradition of excellent running backs and,
under Foreman, have continued that run.
In 2013, Kenneth Harper scored nine rushing touchdowns,
the second best mark in the American Athletic Conference. Foreman also tutored Zaire Williams whose 533 rushing yards were
the third highest total by a TU freshman.
In 2012, Foreman worked with All-American Montel Harris and BIG EAST Special Teams Player of the Year Matt Brown.
The duo combined for a record-breaking day in the win at Army,
rushing for school records of 534 yards, 22 rushing first downs,
and nine touchdowns. In just one season at Temple, Harris earned
first-team All-BIG EAST and Philadelphia Inquirer Performer of the
Year accolades. He finished as the national leader with 27 career
100-yard rushing games while leading Temple and the BIG EAST
in rushing with 1,054 yards and 12 touchdowns on 196 carries.
In 2011, Foreman guided the dynamic duo of juniors Bernard Pierce and Matt Brown to All-MAC honors while
helping the Owls set the school records for rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a season. Pierce became Temple’s all-time
leader in rushing touchdowns (53), total touchdowns (54), and
points scored (324). He also set the season records for rushing
TDs (27), total TDs (27), points scored (162), and 100-yard rushing
games (9), while setting game records for rushing TDs in a game
(5 at Maryland) and points scored (30 at Maryland).
Bernard Pierce, who decided to forego his senior season,
was a third round draft selection by the Baltimore Ravens in 2012,
the first of a school record three draftees and a school record class
of 11 NFL signees.
In 2010, the running backs helped the team to an 8-4 regular-season record. The Owls recorded back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1978-79. Sophomore Bernard Pierce
repeated as a first-team All-MAC honoree, while sophomore Matt
Brown garnered second-team honors.
In 2009, Foreman’s running game exploded, helping TU win
a single-season record nine consecutive games en route to a 9-4
overall record and first-place tie in the MAC East. All-American
Bernard Pierce rushed his way into the Temple record book, rewriting all records for a rookie en route to 2009 MAC Freshman of
the Year and first-team All-MAC honors.
In 2008, Foreman helped the Owls to their most wins in
nearly two decades. The Owls out-scored their opponents for the
season for the first time since 1990. Foreman also coached true
freshman Kee-ayre Griffin, who switched to running back midseason and went on to score a touchdown in his first five games.
He led the Owls on the ground.
Foreman played his collegiate ball at Virginia, where former Temple coach Al Golden served as the Cavaliers’ defensive
coordinator during his senior season in 2001.
Foreman arrived at West Point in March 2004 and
helped make an immediate impact on the Black Knights’ rushing attack under head coach Bobby Ross. After finishing last in
the nation in team rushing in 2003, Army concluded the 2004
campaign ranked 36th. The team also boasted the 13th leading rusher in the nation, Carlton Jones, who averaged 115.36
yards on the ground per game. Jones’ production continued
with Foreman’s assistance in 2005, when he ranked 29th in
the country in rushing with a 102.40 yards-per-game average.
In addition to coaching ball-carriers during his tenure at
Army, Foreman also worked with special teams, assisting with

3rd Season at Temple
Mike Siravo (pronounced SIR-ah-voh), who served as
the Owls’ linebackers coach and recruiting coach in 2006, returned to Temple University in 2013. He’s now in his third season with the Owls and second season under Matt Rhule as the
linebackers coach.
In 2013, Siravo’s unit was led by MLB Nate L. Smith and
WLB Tyler Matakevich, two of the Owls’ bright young leaders.
Matakevich earned American Athletic Conference All-America honors after leading the nation with 8.8 solo tackles per
game.
Siravo re-joined the Owls after six seasons as defensive
backs coach and recruiting coordinator at Boston College. Siravo coached a secondary that helped three Boston College
defenses rank within the nation's Top 10 in interceptions–
2007 (second, 25), 2008 (first, 26) and 2010 (eighth, 20).
His 2010 secondary helped the team rank first in the
country in rushing defense, eighth in interceptions (20), and
13th in total defense.
In 2008, Siravo coached the secondary that was a key
part of a defense that ranked in the Top 10 nationally in seven
different categories, including interceptions (t-first, 26),
turnovers gained (second, 36), total defense (fifth, 286.14),
red zone defense (sixth, .72), rush defense (seventh, 91.2),
pass efficiency defense (seventh, 98.81), and first downs defense (sixth, 14.71).
In 2007, Siravo was a part of a Boston College staff that
led the Eagles to an 11-3 record (the first Eagle team to win 11
games since 1940). The Eagles began the season 8-0 and were
ranked No. 2 in the nation in both major polls. The team won
the Atlantic Division of the ACC and went on to win an eighth
consecutive bowl game. The Eagles finished 10th in the final
AP poll, the program's best finish since the 1984 season.
Boston College ranked second in the country with 25
interceptions in 2007. The Eagle defense finished fourth in the
ACC in pass defense efficiency and finished third in the league
in total defense. Under Siravo’s guidance, free safety Jamie
Silva was a consensus All-America first-team honoree and a
finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award given to the nation's top defensive back.
Siravo first stepped on North Broad
Street in 2006 as Owls’ linebackers coach and
recruiting coordinator during Al Golden’s first season. With Siravo’s help, Temple had the top-ranked
recruiting class in the Mid-American Conference in 2006,
which produced five NFL players, including Steve Maneri and
Andre Neblett.
Prior to joining the Temple staff in 2006, Siravo spent
three seasons as linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator at Columbia University (2003-05). At Columbia, Siravo developed a system to streamline the Lions’ nationwide
recruiting efforts. The linebacking corps was also considerably
strengthened under his tutelage, with senior Chuck Britton
earning All-Ivy accolades in 2004.
A Pawtucket, RI, native, Siravo joined the Eagles as a
walk-on in 1995 and later earned a scholarship. The two-time
letterwinner played linebacker under head coaches Dan Henning and Tom O’Brien. He earned Academic All-BIG EAST honors as a senior.
Siravo earned a bachelor’s degree in history from

all-Mountain West honorable mention honors and received the
team’s Offensive Player of the Year award. After coaching the offensive line in 2012, Wiesehan moved to running backs coach in

coach. The Bruins participated in the Eagle Bank Bowl and tight
ends Ryan Moya and Logan Paulsen signed with the Cleveland

From 2007-08, Wiesehan was the offensive line coach at
Syracuse. During his tenure, the Orange had their first 1,000-yard
rusher in five seasons and two of his players were either drafted
or signed by NFL teams. In addition, his offensive line cut the number of sacks allowed in half during his second year.
Prior to Syracuse, Wiesehan served as the offensive line
coach at James Madison in 2006. In his only season, the Dukes
won the Atlantic 10 South Division and led the conference in rushing. JMU also ranked 11th nationally in rushing and qualified for

Wiesehan gained NFL experience by working as an offensive assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2005. Prior
to that, he coached at Northern Arizona from 2001-04, where
he spent two seasons each as wide receivers coach and offensive line coach. At NAU, the line allowed the fewest
sacks in the Big Sky while helping produce a 1,000-yard
rusher, and six linemen earned all-conference honors.
NAU also won the 2003 Big Sky Championship and qualified for the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs in 2001 and ’03.
Wiesehan spent two seasons at Buffalo (19992000), coaching the wide receivers and tight ends during

State from 1994-95 as the receivers coach, where
he coached two All-Americans and four all-conference players. The school won the Rocky
Mountain Athletic Conference and participated
in the Division II National Playoffs.
As a player, Wiesehan was a wide receiver and kick returner at
