Coastal Carolina hires Patenaude as offensive coordinator

NCAA Football Betting Lines

01/26/2012 - Conway, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Coastal Carolina first-year football coach Joe Moglia announced Thursday the hiring of Dave Patenaude as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Patenaude was Georgetown's offensive coordinator the past two years and has 21 years of coaching experience.

"His offensive philosophy matched my vision of having an up-tempo, perimeter attack that has the quarterback making plays with both his arm and legs," Moglia said. "I am looking forward to spring practice to see his plan executed."

Georgetown improved by four wins in each of Patenaude's seasons as offensive coordinator.

A 1990 graduate of Central Connecticut State, Patenaude was the head coach at Division II University of New Haven in 2002 and 2003. He also was offensive coordinator at Hofstra and assisted at Holy Cross, Columbia, Fordham, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Springfield (Mass.) College

Coastal Carolina was 7-4 this past season, including 3-3 in the Big South Conference.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
