Coach Craig Stutzmann has over two decades of experience in the football industry. Beginning at the high school level, he has progressed through the ranks of various divisions of college ball.

He has proven success with his innovative, up-tempo offense named, Spread & Shred, which has consistently produced Top 10 Offenses and national recognition for both his Quarterbacks and Receivers, alike.

With eleven career “stops” throughout the United States, Coach Stutz has crossed paths with distinguished colleagues in the industry. Many have become lifelong friends and considered part of his “Football Family”. This network has been a support in his growth, as a football coach, as well as a husband and father.

However, the most fulfilling part of the job has been the invaluable relationships he’s established with his players. Coaching requires rigorous hours spent with them from the recruiting process, to film sessions, practices, and games. It’s the events outside of football that Coach Stutz enjoys the most, when both players and coach can relax at a birthday celebration or a gathering at his home. Coach Stutz’ impact on his players goes far beyond the field.

As his former player and NFL Quarterback, Marcus Mariota, told The Athletic during an interview, “I think the world of him [Coach Stutz]. I learned a lot about life and other things outside of football from him. He’s someone I still reach out to if I ever need anything.”
