THE ED FOLEY FILE

Asst. Head Coach / Tight Ends / Special Teams Bucknell ‘89 8th Season at Temple

Ed Foley enters his eighth season with Temple University and third 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 his first year back on the sidelines, Foley helped develop former QB Chris Coyer into a tight end. That progress was hindered due to nagging injuries but Coyer closed out his senior campaign with 129 receiving yards and a TD in the season finale.

In 2010, Foley’s tight ends and offensive line helped the team to an 8-4 regular-season record. The Owls recorded back-toback winning seasons for the first time since 1978-79. A school record six offensive players earned All-MAC accolades, including first-team honorees TE Evan Rodriguez, OL Colin Madison, and OL Darius Morris. Madison and Morris became the first repeat firstteam 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 out-scored 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 ad-

vanced 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.

THE PHIL SNOW FILE

Defensive Coordinator Cal State Hayward ‘78

3rd Season at Temple

Phil Snow, who has a wealth of experience in both the collegiate and professional coaching ranks, enters his third season at Temple University as the defensive coordinator.

In 2014 after a full season of digesting his defense, the unit transformed into one of the best in the nation – ranking fourth in scoring defense allowing just 17.5 points per game after allowing 29.8 a year ago. Not only did they allowed fewer points, but they have also scored six touchdowns (four fumble recoveries and two interception returns) trailing only Washington’s seven.

Aiding in the transformation of TU’s defense was its penchant for takeaways. Temple was among the Top 5 in the NCAA with 30, including 19 fumble recoveries (tying Florida International for the nation’s best).

The most dramatic improvement in Temple’s defense came in the passing game where the unit shaved over 100 yards per game from the previous year. In 2014, the unit allowed just 186.9 yards per game after allowing 298.6 a year ago. They allowed just nine scoring passes after 24 one season ago. Generating a pass rush helped the cause – Temple had 25 sacks after just 19 in 2013.

Snow 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 secondteam 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 350.3 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 (2005-08) with the NFL’s Detroit Lions as linebackers coach.

Prior to his NFL stint in Detroit, 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 defensive backs coach 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 first in the conference in rush defense (98.0), pass defense (104.2) and total defense (306.2). It held Nebraska scoreless in one game and limited the opposition to under 10 points in five games total that season. The team finished the season ranked fourth in the nation in both polls.

His defensive units ranked among the top three in scoring defense in the PAC-10 in three of his last five seasons at ASU. In 2000, the Sun Devils ranked first in the nation in fumbles recovered and third in the country in number of turnovers created. The group was headlined by PAC -10 Defensive Player of the Year, Adam Archuleta, and conference Freshman of the Year, Terrell Suggs.

Snow left ASU to become the defensive coordinator for two seasons at UCLA, where he mentored current Temple head coach Matt Rhule during the 2001 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 Year honors. Kenyon Coleman was the defensive winner of the Morris Trophy as the PAC-10’s best lineman. The 2002 team participated in the Las Vegas Bowl.

5th Season at Temple

Francis Brown begins his fifth season at Temple University and third as the defensive backs coach.

He spent the last two seasons coaching the defensive backfield with defensive coordinator Phil Snow. Brown’s concentration was with the corners.

In 2014, Brown’s unit shined due to the play of junior CB Tavon Young and freshman Sean Chandler. Young earned All-American Athletic Conference honors with four interceptions and a conference-best 153 return yards. Chandler, who like Brown attended Camden High, joined the starting unit immediately as a true freshman and helped transform Temple’s unit coming off a disapp o i n ti n g 2013 season.

T h e most dramatic improvement in Temple’s defense came in the passing game where the unit shaved over 100 yards per game from the previous year. In 2014, the unit allowed just 186.9 yards per game after allowing 298.6 a year ago. They allowed just nine scoring passes after 24 one season ago.

In 2014, Rivals.com named Brown one of the top recruiters in the American Athletic Conference in part because of his recruitment of Chandler. The 2015 class included four-star recruit, Kareem Ali from Timber Creek.

In 2012, he served as a graduate assistant coach working with the defense.

In 2011, Brown worked as the assistant director of internal operations. He was in charge of player development and community service projects.

Prior to joining the Owls, Brown coached the defensive backs at Paul VI High School. The New Jersey native also worked as a football trainer at Nexxt Level Sports in 2009-10, training South Jersey athletes, and helped with several area summer camps.

Brown received his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Western Carolina University in 2006. Playing under assistant head coach Matt Rhule, the team captain was a first-team All-SoCon selection at cornerback for the Catamounts.

Following graduation, Brown had two short stays with the Cincinnati Bengals during the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

Brown was three-time All-Conference quarterback at Camden High School, setting the school record with 47 touchdown passes.

Brown and his wife Teara reside in Wenonah, NJ, with their sons Francis, Jr. (10), and Brayden (3).

THE ELIJAH ROBINSON FILE

Defensive Line Penn State ‘08 Elijah Robinson begins his second season as defensive line coach for the Temple Owls.

Robinson’s impact on the defensive line was apparent and immediate.

The D-line was creating pressure and forcing turnovers at a rapid pace.

In the first four games of the season, four touchdowns were scored by the defensive line. The team had nine sacks and 21 tackles for loss.

By season’s end, DT Matt Ioannidis and DE Praise M a r ti n - O g u i k e were making every All-Conference list.

Ioannidis notched 47 tackles and a team-leading 11.0 TFLs while M a r ti n - O g u ike’s 7.5 sacks were the most by an Owl since 2010.

Robinson, a Camden, NJ, native, came home to Philadelphia after spending the previous ten seasons at Penn State.

2nd Season at Temple

The former Nittany Lion defensive tackle transitioned into coaching when his playing career was cut short after suffering a neck injury during spring practice in 2007. Robinson graduated from Penn State in 2008 and joined the PSU staff as a graduate assistant coach one year later.

His primary responsibilities were assisting Larry Johnson in coaching the defensive line and preparing the offensive scout team from 2009. In 2011 he was promoted to a full time coaching position. Then in 2012 when Bill O’Brien took over as head coach, Robinson became Penn State’s director of player development and NFL liaison. In that role he would organize scouting visits, orchestrate Pro Day, develop community service initiatives and serve as the football team’s liaison with admissions, compliance, housing and academics.

Robinson earned All-State and AllSouth Jersey honors at Woodrow Wilson High School, leading the team to a 15-0 record and a state championship in 2002.

SIRAVO

Linebackers Boston College ‘98

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 fourth season with the Owls and third season under Matt Rhule as the linebackers coach.

For the past two seasons, Siravo’s unit was led by WLB Tyler Matakevich. Matakevich earned American Athletic Conference All-America honors each year after leading the nation with 8.8 solo tackles per game in 2013. The senior has now eclipsed the 100-tackle plateau in all three seasons - a feat that ties him with Steve Conjar and Joe Klecko in the Temple record books. Matakevich is the only player in the country with more than 300 career tackles (355) entering 2015.

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 topranked 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 Boston College in 1998. He also earned a master’s degree from his alma mater in administrative studies of business in 2000.

Upon graduation, Siravo remained in Chestnut Hill and began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for recruiting in 1998. The Eagles' February 1999 recruiting class was rated the best in school history, ranking 15th nationally according to expert Tom Lemming.

Siravo is married to the former Alison Cahill. They have two children— William (5), Evelyn (3), and Henry Michael (1).

THE GLENN THOMAS FILE

Quarterbacks Texas Tech ‘98

1st Season at Temple

Glenn Thomas comes to Temple for his first season as quarterbacks coach with the Owls after a seven year stint with the Atlanta Falcons.

Thomas spent three seasons as the Falcons quarterbacks coach after four seasons as the team’s offensive assistant. During his tenure in Atlanta the Falcons offense was its most productive in franchise history, and quarterback Matt Ryan soared to new levels each season.

During the three seasons where Thomas guided Ryan, the Philadelphia native and former first round pick out of Boston College threw for more than 4,500 and 26 touchdowns in each season earning Pro Bowl honors in 2013 and 2015.

Ryan cemented himself as the best quarterback in franchise history supplanting Steve Bartkowski with 28,166 career passing yards and 181 touchdowns. It was under Thomas, however, that Ryan set career and franchise single-season highs in passing yards (4,719), touchdown passes (32) and completion percentage (68.6) in 2012.

Aside from his work with Ryan, while Thomas was in Atlanta the offense featured perennial all-pros Roddy White and Julio Jones at wide receiver, Michael Turner at running back, and Tony Gonzalez, arguably the best tight end to play in the NFL. From 2001-07, Thomas spent his coaching tenure at Midwestern State. As a graduate assistant coaching wide receivers (2001-04), the Mustangs won the Lone Star North Division Championship in his first season. Thomas oversaw the school’s passing game and quarterbacks in the 2004 campaign, and helped guide MSU to its first NCAA playoff appearance in school history while recording an 8-3 record.

Thomas transformed Midwestern State’s offense into a powerhouse while serving as offensive coordinator from 2005-07. In 2007, his offense led the entire NCAA in total offense (550.0 yards per game) and rushing yards per game (317.0).

Thomas found time to work with the Baltimore Ravens in-between seasons at Midwestern State. He was responsible for working with wide receivers (2002-03, ’05) and also helped out with Baltimore’s quarterbacks.

It was also in Baltimore where he was introduced to current Falcons head coach Mike Smith. The two also worked together during Smith’s tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars for one season (2004).

Following his graduation from Texas Tech, Thomas began his coaching career as a student assistant at his alma mater from 1998-2001.

A native of Eastland, Texas, Thomas and his wife, Felicia, have two sons, Hayden (4) and Dylan (2).

WIESEHAN

Offensive Line Wabash College ‘93

2nd Season at Temple

Chris Wiesehan (pronounced WEEZ-uh-han) begins his second year as offensive line coach for the Temple Owls. During his 21-year coaching career, Wiesehan has coached nearly all the offensive positions, including five stops where he tutored offensive linemen.

In his first season at Temple, Wiesehan oversaw an offensive line that cut its sack total by over 33% from the previous year. The line allowed just 21 sacks (down from 32) which was the third lowest total in 29 seasons. In fact, Temple quarterbacks were sacked just once every 19.2 pass attempts - the best mark in school history. The line performed admirably considering a midseason stretch of six games with six different line combinations.

Wiesehan’s methods seemed to impact junior center Kyle Friend the most. Working with his third position coach in as many seasons, Friend earned recognition on every all-conference list.

Wiesehan came to Philadelphia from the University of Hawaii where he began as an offensive line/run game coordinator. He helped coach freshman center Ben Clarke, who received 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 2013.

Wiesehan traveled to UH after serving as wide receivers coach for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. In 2011, he helped Winnipeg to the Grey Cup. While in his first year, he coached a group which boasted the second leading receiver in the league in Terrence Edwards who finished with 1,372 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Wiesehan spent the 2009 season at UCLA as tight ends coach. The Bruins participated in the Eagle Bank Bowl and tight ends Ryan Moya and Logan Paulsen signed with the Cleveland Browns and Washington Redskins, respectively.

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 NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

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 (1999-2000), coaching the wide receivers and tight ends during his first season and offensive line in his second year.

In 1997 and ’98, he was on staff at Notre Dame as the tight ends coach where the Irish participated in the Independence Bowl and the Gator Bowl. He spent the 1996 season coaching the tight ends at Purdue and mentored three-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriot Matt Light.

He began his coaching career at Fort Hays State from 1994-95 as the receivers coach, where he coached two AllAmericans 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 Wabash College (1990-93). As a senior, he served as team captain and earned All-America honors while being named his team’s Receiver of the Year for the third time. He was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 2014.

Wiesehan and his wife, Renee, have one son, Colton.
