CARMEN FELUS
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR/QUARTERBACKS COACH
WESTERN MARYLAND, 1995
SECOND YEAR


Carmen Felus returns for his second consecutive season as the Mocs' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Felus was hired in January, 2006 after spending six seasons as an assistant coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Last year, under Felus' guidance, senior running back Eldra Buckley earned his second straight 1,200-yard rushing season and was named First-Team All-Southern Conference. The Mocs also produced a balanced offensive attack of 177 rushing yards per game and 162 passing yards per outing.

Felus coached quarterbacks, receivers and served as the offensive coordinator for the IUP Indians during his tenure. A highly-regarded offensive mind, Felus led the IUP football program to some of its most successful offensive seasons in recent history.

The Indians scored 30 or more points 27 times during Felus' six-year stay. They won or shared five PSAC West Division titles and advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The 2002 team generated 33.2 points per game to lead the conference and rank 18th in the nation in that category.

Felus led the development of IUP quarterback Brian Eyerman. The signal caller surpassed nearly all the school's career passing records. In 2002, Eyerman was the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West Player of the Year and a Harlon Hill Award regional finalist.

His receivers also found success. LeRon McCoy was a seventh-round Draft Pick by the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League in 2005 after becoming one of the top pass catchers in NCAA Division II his senior year. Carmelo Ocasio earned All-America honors and ranks second on IUP's career receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns lists.

Prior to his stint at IUP, Felus spent two seasons coaching at Shepherd College, where he worked as the offensive coordinator and was responsible for quarterbacks, receivers and tight ends. All-America running back Damian Beane and Harlon Hill Award national finalist Damian Beane was a member of that squad.

His coaching career began in 1995, coaching at Saint Francis University for two years and at Adams State College for one.

A 1995 graduate of Western Maryland College in Westminster, Md., with a degree in English Literature, Felus still ranks as one of the school's top receivers. He stands seventh on the career list with 89 receptions for 755 yards. Felus spent the first two years of his collegiate career at Lock Haven before transferring to WMU which is now referred to as McDaniel College.

He is married to the former Jennifer Podlucky of Johnstown, Pa.
