Pat Spadaro begins his eighth season with West Chester University and head coach Bill Zwaan. He will be tasked with coaching the tight ends.

Spadaro’s star pupil during his stint at West Chester, Tim Brown, signed a free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in April 2016. While at West Chester, Brown broke nearly every school receiving record for tight ends and was a highly sought-after prospect by nearly every NFL club. Brown became the first tight end in school history to catch for more than 1,000 yards in a single season. It was Brown’s play in the postseason in 2013 that was a big reason why the Golden Rams were able to advance to the national semifinals.

Spadaro helped out with the Golden Rams’ spring drills in April 2013, before being hired on for fall camp in August. In just a short time at West Chester University, Spadaro has made a big impact on the football program.

Spadaro comes to West Chester from Bloomsburg University where he spent the last three years as an assistant coach under former BU head coach and WCU alum Danny Hale. Spadaro coached the tight ends last fall for the Huskies while mentoring the defensive line his first two years in Bloomsburg. Last fall, Bloomsburg’s rushing game set a new conference record for rushing yards in a single season (3,789).

While at Bloomsburg, Spadaro also created a freshman academic support program, which arranged for study halls and tutors while monitoring the first-year players’ academic progress.

Spadaro graduated from Bloomsburg University in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. He finished up work on his master’s degree from Bloomsburg University in Exceptionalities in May 2012.
