After being a highly valuable member of Pitt's coaching staff as an offensive assistant last year, Brian Angelichio was promoted to full-time assistant coach this past offseason by Dave Wannstedt.
Angelichio will coach the Panthers' tight ends, which he also did in his graduate assistant post last season. Under his direction, Pitt's three tight ends -- Steve Buches, Darrell Strong and Nate Byham -- accounted for 43 catches for 507 yards and eight touchdowns last year.
Angelichio joined Pitt in 2006 as a highly seasoned football coach, serving the prior 10 seasons at Ithaca College (1996-2005).
Named Ithaca's offensive coordinator in 2000, Angelichio molded a highly productive unit that set or tied 30 team and individual records over his final five seasons. The Bombers averaged nearly 40 points per game in 2005 to rank 18th nationally on the NCAA Division III level.
Angelichio oversaw the development of seven All-Americans at Ithaca, which advanced to the postseason in seven of his 10 years. His offenses averaged more than 30 points per game in six of his final eight seasons.
Before elevating to his offensive coordinator post, Angelichio coached Ithaca's linebackers (1996-97) and receivers (1998). He oversaw the offensive line from 1999-2005.
In addition to football, Angelichio was a member of Ithaca's baseball staff for nine years, helping the Bombers to the NCAA playoffs each season.
A 1995 graduate of St. Lawrence with a bachelor's in physical education, Angelichio was a member of the Saints' football and baseball teams. He was a three-year starter at outside linebacker and also was a captain and four-year starter on the baseball team. Angelichio spent a season as secondary coach at Brockport (1995) before coming to Ithaca. He earned his master's from Ithaca in 1997.
