Allen Mogridge
[pronounced MOE-gridge]
“Allen Mogridge brings a history of excellence, versatility, and success to the Temple football program,” Rhule said. “He will have an instant impact on our players, our team, and in recruiting. Throughout his coaching career, Allen has produced outstanding players and units who play hard and play the game the right away. Further, he is a tremendous recruiter who has longstanding ties in New Jersey, Western Pennsylvania, as well as across the nation.”
Mogridge spent the 2012 season at Central Florida as the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach.
Prior to joining the Knights, he spent three seasons as special teams and tight ends coach with North Carolina where the Tar Heels advanced to a bowl game each year from 2009-11.
Also working as UNC's recruiting coordinator, Mogridge helped guide the Tar Heels to the 2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl, a double-overtime victory over Tennessee in the 2010 Music City Bowl and a berth in the Independence Bowl in 2011.
A 1999 graduate of North Carolina, Mogridge's 2011 tight ends combined for 33 receptions for 488 yards and two touchdowns. In 2010, they led the ACC with 85 catches, highlighted by Ryan Taylor's 36 and Zack Pianalto's 30. At UCF, both of those numbers would rank in the top four as only two tight ends for the Knights have registered at least 30 receptions in a single-season (Don Grayson with 50 in 1987 and John Osborne with 31 in 1988). Pianalto holds UNC's career record with 94 catches by a tight end and played in 13 games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2011, while Taylor was picked in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers.
On special teams in 2011, North Carolina ranked 11th in the nation by allowing just 4.63 yards per punt return, and 23rd in the FBS by permitting opposing kick returners to average only 19.54 yards per attempt. In Mogridge's first year, the Tar Heels were 19th in the country in punt returns and 18th in punt return defense.
Mogridge was on the coaching staff at the University at Buffalo from 2004-08 where he led the running backs before ending his stint leading the offensive line and serving as the Bulls' recruiting coordinator.
While in Buffalo, Mogridge coached freshman running back James Starks to the All-MAC Second Team in 2006 - the first time a UB freshman earned all-league honors. Starks went on to become the school's first 1,000-yard rusher (in the FBS era) a year later. During that 2007 season, the offensive line paved the way for a school FBS record 291 points and 258 completions by quarterback Drew Willy. On the O-line was center Jamey Richard, who was an All-MAC honoree and eventually taken in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts.
In Mogridge's final season, Buffalo claimed the 2008 MAC title with a victory over heavily-favored Ball State and earned the school's second bowl berth.
Mogridge spent one year as a strength and conditioning coach at UNC in 2000 while playing for one year in the Arena Football League with the Carolina Cobras. He also worked in the Carolina Panthers 2000 training camp. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant on defense at Buffalo from 2001-02, helping the Bulls jump from near the bottom of total defense to 45th in the nation in 2001.
Mogridge then helped lead Western Carolina as its defensive ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2003 when Matt Rhule served as the Catamounts' assistant head coach, linebackers coach, and special teams coordinator.
A native of Maryville, Tenn., Mogridge earned his bachelor's degree in history at North Carolina in 1999. He lettered from 1996-99 while playing four different positions – tight end, fullback, offensive tackle, and defensive end. He earned the Kenan Award for Leadership as a senior, and went to four bowl games highlighted by the 1996 and 1997 Gator Bowls. UNC was a combined 21-3 over those two seasons and finished No. 4 in the final USA Today Coaches Poll in 1997.
Mogridge, 36, is married to the former Jennifer Carpenter. The couple has three daughters, Livi (9), Izzy (5), and Lola Sofia (1).

Brandon Noble
“We are excited to welcome Brandon Noble and his family home to Southeastern Pennsylvania,” Rhule said. “Brandon will bring technical expertise and experience that he has accumulated throughout his college and professional playing careers, as well as his collegiate and professional coaching careers. Brandon brings strong ties to both our local communities as well as the Virginia Beach area which will benefit us in our recruiting efforts.”
A former Penn State teammate of Matt Rhule's, Noble spent the 2012 season at Coastal Carolina as the Chanticleers' defensive line and special teams coach.
In 2011 Noble worked under Chanticleer head coach Joe Moglia as the defensive line coach with the Omaha Nighthawks, where he helped the squad lead the United Football League (UFL) in both sacks and tackles for loss.
Prior to his time at Omaha, Noble spent four seasons (2006-08 and 2010) as an assistant coach at West Chester University, working with the linebackers and defensive line in his time with the Golden Rams.
Noble spent seven seasons in the NFL, including three with the Washington Redskins (2003-05) and four with the Dallas Cowboys (1999-2002). He was a three-year starter at defensive end for the Cowboys and received the NFL's Ed Block Courage Award, voted upon by his Redskin teammates and given to the player who exemplifies a commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage.
Noble originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 1997 with the San Francisco 49ers, making the practice squad for stints during the 1997 and '98 seasons.
He was allocated to the Barcelona Dragons of NFL Europe by both the 49ers and Cowboys in 1998 and `99, making the All-NFL Europe team and helping Barcelona win the 1999 World Bowl Championship.
A three-year starter at Penn State, Noble posted a team-high eight sacks and a career-high 72 tackles as a senior in 1996. The defensive tackle earned second team All-Big Ten honors and was awarded the Hall Foundation Athletic Award, given to the team's most outstanding senior player. The team captain was also named the Nittany Lions' most outstanding senior player and the defensive Most Valuable Player of the 1997 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Noble played on the 1994 undefeated Rose Bowl squad as a sophomore and also helped the Nittany Lions to the 1993 Blockbuster Bowl. The Virginia Beach native received his degree in criminal justice in 1998.
Noble is a regular guest on the ESPN Radio show “All Night with Jason Smith” and on DC101's “Elliot in the Morning” in Washington, D.C., providing NFL news and analysis.
Noble, 38, is married to the former Mary Kate Dougherty. The couple has three children, Connor (11), Grace (9), and Jackson (7).

Marcus Satterfield
“Marcus Satterfield brings seven years of coordinator experience to our offensive staff, as well as a history of developing quarterbacks and wide receivers,” Rhule said. “He has success offensively, at places that had historically struggled, because of his offensive mind, his system and his work ethic. Marcus is a relentless recruiter who will expand our recruiting reach, and he will develop and push the players already within our program.”
Satterfield spent the last 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 school history. Chattanooga also ranked in the top 20 in the FCS with 31.5 points per game, the second highest total in school history. UTC ranked No. 8 in the nation in passing offense with 277 yards per game and was third in the FCS in third-down conversions at 48.7%. Five offensive players were named to the All-SoCon team, while receiver Joel Bradford was pegged Third-Team All-American by the Associated Press.
In 2009, Coleman and Blue Cooper made up one of the top pass-catch tandems in the country. Cooper was No. 6 in the nation with 84 receptions and went on to sign a free-agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Prior to coming to UTC, Satterfield was the offensive coordinator at UT Martin for three seasons. There he helped the Skyhawks win the 2006 Ohio Valley Conference championship and finish with the No. 1 ranked scoring offense in the OVC in 2008. He also led the 2007 squad to a No. 1 league ranking in total offense and points-per-game.
Satterfield worked at Richmond during the 2004 season. Satterfield left Richmond to coach the wide receivers at Western Carolina, alongside Matt Rhule, for two years before joining UT Martin's staff.
A Greenback, Tenn., native, Satterfield was a three-year letterman as a wide receiver and punter at East Tennessee State from 1995-98, earning his degree in history from ETSU in 1999. He also played point guard for Chattanooga State Community College during the 1994-95 season.
Satterfield, 36, is married to the former Sarah Houser. The couple has a daughter, Harper (5).

Ed Foley
“Ed Foley has served the Temple football program and its student-athletes loyally for five years, and I am excited that he will return to the field as an assistant football coach,” Rhule said. “As a former head coach, offensive coordinator, and the man responsible for the development of future NFL players Steve Maneri and Evan Rodriguez, Ed brings invaluable experience and resources to our offensive staff and to me as the Assistant Head Coach. Further, Ed has played an integral in the program's move to the BIG EAST as well as the improvements to Edberg-Olson Hall. A south jersey native, Ed will bring stability and integrity to the Temple football family.”
Ed Foley enters his sixth season with Temple University 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 All-MAC?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 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, N.J., 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, 45, and his wife Rebecca have two sons, Charlie (13) and Luke (6), and a daughter Sara (4). His brother Glenn was a seven-year NFL veteran quarterback, playing with the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks from 1993 to 2000.

Our team has tremendous respect for Francis, and he will soon prove to be one of the top young recruiters in the Northeast.

Allen Mogridge
[pronounced MOE-gridge]
Mogridge spent the 2012 season at Central Florida as the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach.
Prior to joining the Knights, he spent three seasons as special teams and tight ends coach with North Carolina where the Tar Heels advanced to a bowl game each year from 2009-11.
Also working as UNC's recruiting coordinator, Mogridge helped guide the Tar Heels to the 2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl, a double-overtime victory over Tennessee in the 2010 Music City Bowl and a berth in the Independence Bowl in 2011.
A 1999 graduate of North Carolina, Mogridge's 2011 tight ends combined for 33 receptions for 488 yards and two touchdowns. In 2010, they led the ACC with 85 catches, highlighted by Ryan Taylor's 36 and Zack Pianalto's 30. At UCF, both of those numbers would rank in the top four as only two tight ends for the Knights have registered at least 30 receptions in a single-season (Don Grayson with 50 in 1987 and John Osborne with 31 in 1988). Pianalto holds UNC's career record with 94 catches by a tight end and played in 13 games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2011, while Taylor was picked in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers.
On special teams in 2011, North Carolina ranked 11th in the nation by allowing just 4.63 yards per punt return, and 23rd in the FBS by permitting opposing kick returners to average only 19.54 yards per attempt. In Mogridge's first year, the Tar Heels were 19th in the country in punt returns and 18th in punt return defense.
Mogridge was on the coaching staff at the University at Buffalo from 2004-08 where he led the running backs before ending his stint leading the offensive line and serving as the Bulls' recruiting coordinator.
While in Buffalo, Mogridge coached freshman running back James Starks to the All-MAC Second Team in 2006 - the first time a UB freshman earned all-league honors.

During that 2007 season, the offensive line paved the way for a school FBS record 291 points and 258 completions by quarterback Drew Willy. On the O-line was center Jamey Richard, who was an All-MAC honoree and eventually taken in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts.
In Mogridge's final season, Buffalo claimed the 2008 MAC title with a victory over heavily-favored Ball State and earned the school's second bowl berth.
Mogridge spent one year as a strength and conditioning coach at UNC in 2000 while playing for one year in the Arena Football League with the Carolina Cobras. He also worked in the Carolina Panthers 2000 training camp. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant on defense at Buffalo from 2001-02, helping the Bulls jump from near the bottom of total defense to 45th in the nation in 2001.
Mogridge then helped lead Western Carolina as its defensive ends coach and recruiting coordinator in 2003 when Matt Rhule served as the Catamounts' assistant head coach, linebackers coach, and special teams coordinator.
A native of Maryville, Tenn., Mogridge earned his bachelor's degree in history at North Carolina in 1999.

UNC was a combined 21-3 over those two seasons and finished No. 4 in the final USA Today Coaches Poll in 1997.

Marcus Satterfield
Satterfield spent the last 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 school history. Chattanooga also ranked in the top 20 in the FCS with 31.5 points per game, the second highest total in school history. UTC ranked No. 8 in the nation in passing offense with 277 yards per game and was third in the FCS in third-down conversions at 48.7%. Five offensive players were named to the All-SoCon team, while receiver Joel Bradford was pegged Third-Team All-American by the Associated Press.
In 2009, Coleman and Blue Cooper made up one of the top pass-catch tandems in the country. Cooper was No. 6 in the nation with 84 receptions and went on to sign a free-agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Prior to coming to UTC, Satterfield was the offensive coordinator at UT Martin for three seasons. There he helped the Skyhawks win the 2006 Ohio Valley Conference championship and finish with the No. 1 ranked scoring offense in the OVC in 2008. He also led the 2007 squad to a No. 1 league ranking in total offense and points-per-game.
Satterfield worked at Richmond during the 2004 season. Satterfield left Richmond to coach the wide receivers at Western Carolina, alongside Matt Rhule, for two years before joining UT Martin's staff.
A Greenback, Tenn., native, Satterfield was a three-year letterman as a wide receiver and punter at East Tennessee State from 1995-98, earning his degree in history from ETSU in 1999. He also played point guard for Chattanooga State Community College during the 1994-95 season.
Satterfield, 36, is married to the former Sarah Houser. The couple has a daughter, Harper (5).

Ed Foley
Ed Foley enters his sixth season with Temple University 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 All-MAC?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 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, N.J., 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, 45, and his wife Rebecca have two sons, Charlie (13) and Luke (6), and a daughter Sara (4). His brother Glenn was a seven-year NFL veteran quarterback, playing with the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks from 1993 to 2000.
