Pat Coleman has been following Division III football since the early '90s, ever since the likes of Duquesne, Iona and Georgetown played D-III. He's a 1994 graduate of a Division III school -- Catholic University in Washington, D.C. -- and has been in and (now seemingly permanently) out of the Sports Information biz ever since, as both full-time and interim SID at multiple area institutions.
The other schools he applied to besides Catholic? All D-IIIs: St. John's, Macalester and Oberlin.
Pat has written about Division III
football in USA Today and has made multiple broadcast
appearances talking about Division III football on ESPN, including
an edition of Outside the
Lines in February 2010, before Pierre Garcon and the
Indianapolis Colts played in the Super Bowl. He and Keith McMillan
have broadcast every Stagg Bowl since 1999 on the
Internet.
Pat is a member of the Football Writers
Association of America.
During the day (and night, sometimes) he's Deputy Managing Editor
of Verizon Headlines, after working as copy desk chief at
NBCSports.com and fpr more than a decade at USA Today. He
and his wife Cate have three children: Elizabeth, Robert and
Colleen. He recently returned to his home state of Minnesota after
nearly two decades in the Washington area.
