Craig Stutzmann begins his first season at Utah Tech as the Trailblazers’ offensive coordinator.
Stutzmann comes to UT after spending the last two seasons at Washington State, where he was the Cougars’ co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. In his first season at WSU, he helped lead the PAC-12’s top red zone offense and the conference’s third-best passing game.
Prior to his time in the Palouse, Stutzmann served in the same role at his alma mater, Hawai’i (2016-19), where he helped guide UH to three bowl games, including a 10-5 
record and a 38-34 victory over BYU in the Hawai’i Bowl in 2019. Stutzmann helped direct a Hawai’i offense that improved in total offense and passing offense in each of those four seasons, producing the country’s ninth-ranked passing offense in 2018, the fifth-rated passing attack in 2019, and an offense that averaged over 30 points a game over that two-year span.
In 2019, Stutzmann was named one of six finalists for the FootballScoop National Quarterback Coach of the Year for his efforts in coaching two-time All-Mountain West Conference quarterback Cole McDonald. McDonald finished third in the nation that season in passing yards (4,135), seventh in passing yards-per-game (295.4), eighth in touchdown passes (33) and was second on the team with seven rushing touchdowns.
In addition, Stutzmann coached two seasons at Emory & Henry College (2014-15), where he served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He also spent two seasons as wide receivers coach at Weber State (2012-13), and one season at Division III Rhodes (TN) College.
Stutzmann began his college coaching career as a graduate assistant at Hawai’i during the 2008 season, which was followed by stints at Portland State (WR Coach; 2009) and at Memphis (grad assistant 2010).
A native of Hawai’i, Stutzmann also coached at Kalaheo High School in Kailua, O‘ahu, where he spent the 2003 seasons as a teacher and offensive coordinator before moving on to his alma mater, Saint Louis HS, where he coached for four years (2004-07), including three years as junior varsity head coach. While at Saint Louis, he coached Marcus Mariota, who won the 2014 Heisman Trophy and was the second overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft for the Tennessee Titans.
Stutzmann was a four-year letter winner and three-year starter at Hawai’i from 1998-2001, where he finished fifth on the school’s all-time receiving list (2,025 yards) and was a two-time honorable-mention all-Western Athletic Conference selection. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in 2002 and Master’s degree in 2014, both at Hawai’i. He and his wife, Briana, are the parents of one son – Baylor.
