HAMILTON, N.Y. (3/13/12) – Colgate head football coach
Dick Biddle has announced the hiring of
Brad Dunlay as the assistant offensive line coach. Dunlay will join the coaching staff on March 21.
Dunlay comes to Colgate from Georgetown, where he served as the offensive line coach for six seasons. During his tenure with the Hoyas, the offense improved every year, including last season, when the Hoyas offense gained 3,520 total yards and recorded their best record (8-3, 3-2 PL) since 1999.
During his first year the Georgetown offensive line was a key factor in helping Charlie Houghton earn Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors, the first major award for a Georgetown player since joining the league. In 2007, the front five helped senior Kyle Van Fleet on his way to earning Second Team All-Patriot League honors and were responsible for protecting quarterback Matt Bassuener, who threw for the most completions (211) in a single season at Georgetown and had the seventh-most passing yardage (1,874) in a season. In 2009, Dunlay's offensive line helped the Hoyas pass for 2,093 yards. In 2010, Dunlay guided the offensive line, as they paved the way for an improved offensive attack that had 3,230 yards of total offense.
Dunlay joined Georgetown after spending the previous five years at Maine Maritime Academy, where he was an assistant coach and guided the offensive line. While at Maine Maritime, Dunlay was involved in the day-to-day operations of the program, working to implement practice plans, breaking down of film, assisting weight room supervision and handling recruiting. He helped the Mariners to a 7-3 record last season, including an appearance in the ECAC North Atlantic Championship Game.
A native of Sauquoit, N.Y., Dunlay is a 1999 graduate of Springfield College. He returned to his alma mater to earn his master's degree in athletic administration in 2001.
