Dave Patenaude, who spent the previous five seasons as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for Coastal Carolina, began the same role for the Owls on head coach Geoff Collins’ new coaching staff in 2017.
In 2017, he was tasked with having to replace Phillip Walker, the school's all-time leading passer. Redshirt sophomore Logan Marchi earned the starting role and held the position down for seven weeks before being sidelined by injury. In stepped redshirt junior Frank Nutile who provided a spark and led the Owls to a 4-2 record, including a Gasparilla Bowl victory, down the stretch. Despite having two different starters, Temple passed for 3,273 yards, the second best total in school history.
In 2016, Patenaude propelled the Chanticleers to a 10-2 record for their third 10-win season in the past five years. The offense averaged 37.3 PPG while finishing in the FCS top five for multiple offensive categories. That season, Patenaude mentored two All-Americans including De’Angelo Henderson, who left Coastal Carolina as the all-time leader in eight different rushing categories and was a finalist for the Walter Payton FCS offensive player of the year twice.
From 2013-15, Patenaude tutored quarterback Alex Ross, who became the most decorated quarterback in Coastal Carolina history. At the conclusion of his career, Ross became the first quarterback to be a three-time first team Big South selection and win the conference’s offensive player of the year twice. Ross broke almost every single passing and total offensive record for the Chanticleer, while breaking multiple conference records as well. He set Big South career marks for total offense, touchdowns responsible for, and most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. He was a 2015 finalist for the Walter Payton FCS Offensive Player of the Year during his senior season.
Coastal Carolina had seven All Big South players on offense during the 2014 season and two All-Americans, which included Ross and offensive lineman Chad Hamilton. That year, the Chanticleers finished first in nine different offense categories in the Big South and had the 13th highest scoring offense in the FCS. CCU continued building from its 2013 season as the offense was FCS top five in five different categories along with having broken 25 of the school’s single-season offensive records. Patenaude also produced another finalist for the Walter Payton FCS offensive player of the year in Lorenzo Taliaferro, as he ranked third in the FCS in rushing touchdowns and yards that season.
Patenaude’s ability to run an efficient offense became evident in his first season with CCU. In 2012, Coastal Carolina came close to breaking many program highs including rushing for 2,590 yards -- then second-best total in program history and passing for 3,101 yards. They posted a then school-record 5,691 yards of total offense, ranking first in the Big South and 18th nationally with an average of 437.8 yards of total offense per game.
Prior to CCU, Patenaude spent two seasons as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Georgetown. In 2011, the Hoyas went 8-3, which was a four-game improvement over the previous year, and ended up being a runner-up in the Patriot League behind Lehigh. In his first year at Georgetown, Patenaude helped the Hoyas achieve one of the team’s most productive offense seasons in the previous decade with 3,230 yards.
Patenaude arrived at Georgetown after spending three years on Hofstra’s coaching staff. When he initially joined the Pride, Patenaude served as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator during the 2007 season under current Temple coach Ed Foley, who was offensive coordinator at the time. The following season, Patenaude was promoted to offensive coordinator and stayed in that role from 2008-09, until the program shut down. During the 2008, the Pride ranked top five in the conference for rushing and was ranked seventh in total offense. In 2007, he mentored senior Brian Savage (Houston Texans’ QB Tom Savage’s brother) to fourth in the conference and 15th in the FCS in total offensive yards.
For three years, Patenaude served as a part of Holy Cross coaching staff. During the 2004-05 season, he was the team’s running back coach and tutored RB Steve Silva, who was a two time All-American RB during those years and led the nation in all-purpose yards during the 2005 season. The 2006 season saw Patenaude switch to wide receivers coach and he added special team’s coordinator to his decorated resume.
Patenaude served as the head coach of the University of New Haven during the 2002-03 season before the program was dropped. During his time there, he led the Chargers to five wins and helped mentor OL Phil Bogle to reach the NFL, the school’s first player to go pro since 1996.
Prior to reaching a head coaching position, Patenaude spent four years on Columbia’s coaching staff. He served as the wide receivers coach from 1998-2000 and added coaching the quarterbacks during the 2000 season. In 2001, he was promoted to offensive coordinator for the Lions, where he helped the offense average 28.6 points over its last four games.
Prior to going to Columbia, he spent four seasons at Fordham University. During his time with the Rams, Patenaude served many different roles as he was hired as a tight ends coach (1994), became special teams coordinator and wide receivers (1995-97) and quarterback coach as an extra role during his final two seasons (1996-97). It was during this time that he first worked with Temple head coach Geoff Collins.
Patenaude began his collegiate coaching career in 1991 as running backs coach at the United States Coast Guard Academy. After one season at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., he moved on to Springfield (Mass.) College, where he served as wide receivers and running backs coach in 1992 and 1993. While at Springfield, he completed a master's degree in physical education and sports management.
A 1990 graduate of Central Connecticut State University, Patenaude was a three-year starting quarterback and free safety for the Blue Devils. He and his wife, Christine, have two daughters, Eva (15) and Estelle (9).
