www.WyomingAthletics.com Page 15 WYOMING Dave Christensen (Western Washington ‘85) FOOTBALL 2009 Head Football Coach, University of Wyoming

The Wyoming Cowboy Football program gained a dynamic and innovative new leader on Dec. 1, 2008, as University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman announced that Dave Christensen, Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator at Missouri since 2001, had been selected as the new head coach of the Cowboys. He becomes the 31st coach in Wyoming Football history. “We are thrilled to be able to attract a coach with the experience that Coach (Dave) Christensen brings to our program,” said Burman. “He is one of the great offensive minds in college football, and he will bring a very exciting brand of football to Jonah Field. “The plan he presented to us for building a comprehensive program was the best we heard in our search process. I am confident that he will put an outstanding coaching staff together, and that they will hit the ground running. With Dave leading Cowboy Football, I believe our program will make dramatic progress in the coming years and return to a position of prominence in the Mountain West Conference.” Christensen was named the 2007 National Offensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals.com and was also runner-up for the 2007 Frank , which honors the top assistant coach in the nation each season. “I can’t tell you how excited I am to be given the opportunity to lead the Wyoming Cowboy Football program,” said Christensen. “The opportunity to become a head coach is something I’ve been preparing for my entire career. “This is a great job at an outstanding university. Wyoming has a rich football tradition, and combined with the new, state-of-the art facilities, I know we can win here.” He helped lead the Missouri Tigers to the Big 12 Championship game in both the 2007 and 2008 seasons as champions of the Big 12 North. In 2008, Mizzou ranked No. 4 in the NCAA in passing offense (330.4 yards per game), No. 6 in scoring offense (42.2 points per game) and No. 8 in total offense (484.1 yards per game). The Tigers concluded the 2008 season ranked No. 16 in the final USA Today Coaches’ Poll, No. 19 in the final Associated Press Media Poll and were No. 21 in the final BCS Rankings entering the college bowl season. Missouri defeated Northwestern, 30- 23, in the 2008 Valero Alamo Bowl. The 2007 season saw Missouri conclude the season ranked No. 4 in the final Associated Press ranking. That was the highest season-ending ranking in school history for the Tigers. Mizzou finished the season by defeating Arkansas, 38-7, in the Cotton Bowl, giving the Tigers a school record 12th win on the season. His 2007 offense ranked No. 5 in the nation in total offense (490.3 yards per game), No. 8 in scoring offense (39.9 points per game) and No. 9 in passing offense (314.1 yards per game). Christensen served as an assistant coach under from 1992 to 2008 -- first at the University of Toledo from 1992-2000 and then at Missouri from 2001-2008. Christensen was Pinkel’s offensive coordinator from 1997-2008, and coached the offensive line each of the past 16 seasons. Beginning in 2005, Christensen devised and implemented one of college football’s most exciting, no-huddle, spread offenses. In 2007, Missouri quarterback finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting, while Christensen’s offense scored a school record 558 points, far surpassing the previous Missouri record of 399 points in a single season. In addition to Daniel’s fourth-place finish in the 2007 Heisman Trophy voting, Christensen’s offensive unit had three other Tigers earn national honors that year. Senior tight end Martin Rucker and freshman wide receiver were both Consensus First Team All-America selections, marking the first time in Missouri school history that it had two Consensus First Team All-Americans in the same season. Senior center Adam Spieker was named a finalist for the Rimington Award, which honors the nation’s top offensive center each season. Spieker also earned Third Team All-America honors from Associated Press. His final season at Missouri, the Tigers once again had two Consensus First Team All-Americans in Maclin and tight end Chase Coffman. Coffman also was selected as the winner of the 2008 John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end, while Maclin was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which honors the nation’s top wide receiver. The Tigers finished the 2006 season with the nation’s No. 8 ranked offense, averaging 425.6 yards per game, and that included the nation’s No. 10 ranked passing attack, at 276.2 yards an outing. Christensen’s offense underwent a major transformation to a spread, no-huddle attack in 2005, and was very successful in the first year running the new system. His attack, executed by record-setting quarterback Brad Smith, ended the 2005 season ranked in the top four in the Big 12, and in the Top 40 nationally in three major categories - rushing (205.3 yards per game - No. 3 in the Big 12 and No. 17 in the NCAA), total offense (429.8 ypg - No. 4 in the Big 12 and No. 24 in the nation) and scoring offense (30.8 points per game - No. 4 in the Big 12 and No. 34 in the country). In his final seven seasons at the University of Toledo, the Rockets’ offense set or reset some 75 school records. During that period, the Rockets posted an undefeated and Mid-American Conference (MAC) championship season in 1995 and won three MAC West titles (1997, 1998 and 2000). They concluded the ‘95 campaign with a 40-37 overtime win over Nevada to capture the Las Vegas Bowl Championship. In 1999, Toledo was 10th in the country in rushing (239.2) and led the nation in yards per attempt (5.35). Christensen coached center Andy McCollum while at Toledo. McCollum was a First Team All-MAC selection in 1992, and would later become the starting center for the St. Louis Rams of the NFL. Another Toledo lineman, Colin Westrich, was named Third Team All-American by the Sporting News in 1999. Christensen went to Toledo from Idaho State University where he coached the offensive line, tight ends and running backs for two seasons (1990-91). Prior to his stint at Idaho State, he served two seasons as a graduate assistant offensive line coach under Don James at the University of Washington in 1988 and ‘89. Christensen also played football for the Huskies for three seasons from 1980-82. He earned a bachelor of arts degree in sociology from Western Washington in 1985 and a master of science degree in college instruction and sports science from Eastern Washington in 1988. Christensen is 48 years old, born Jan. 17, 1961. He and his wife Susie have three children, Katie, D.J. and Emily.
