Career highlights and awards

Dave DeGuglielmo (day-ghoul-YELL-moh;[1]) born July 15, 1968) is an American football coach who is currently an assistant offensive line coach for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He was also an offensive line coach for the NFL's Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots.

Early years

DeGuglielmo was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and was raised in Lexington, Massachusetts. One of three children (an older brother Charlie, and younger a Sister Cristina), he is first generation Italian-American, as his father (Carmine Giuseppe DeGuglielmo / legally changed his name to Charles Joseph DeGuglielmo) emigrated to the US in 1954 with his family as a teenager, from a village outside of Avellino, Italy. His mother (June Dorothy Galassi) was born in Boston, and of Italian and French Canadian heritage.[2]

Playing career

DeGuglielmo played both offensive and defensive tackle at Lexington High School (MA) under legendary Massachusetts high school football coach, Bill Tighe. During that time, Lexington High School won two Middlesex League Championships and played for the Division I Super Bowl title against nationally ranked Brockton High School (MA). Moving on to play collegiately at Boston University, he red-shirted his first year (1986) at BU. Despite being a non-scholarship "walk-on," he ultimately became a four-year letterman at Boston University from 1987 to 1990. DeGuglielmo trained under world-renowned strength and conditioning guru, Mike Boyle, who was at the time the Terriers' head strength and conditioning coach. Playing for three different head coaches in five years, and three different offensive line coaches in his first three seasons, he persevered and was voted captain of the 1990 Terriers. The second of his head coaches was Chris Palmer, future head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Palmer and DeGuglielmo would reunite in 2007 at the NY Giants. His final offensive line coach was Tony Sparano, who went on to become the head football coach of the Miami Dolphins. Sparano would later hire Deguglielmo as his offensive line coach in Miami.[3] Playing both guard and center, DeGuglielmo was a first-team All-New England selection as well as a two-time Academic All-Yankee Conference selection.[3]

Coaching career

College coaching

After his playing career ended, DeGuglielmo started off his coaching career at Boston College as a graduate assistant for the 1991-1992 seasons. During this time he served on the staff of then head football coach, Tom Coughlin, and studied under legendary offensive line coach, Mike Maser. Upon the conclusion of this apprenticeship, he left to coach the offensive line at his alma mater, Boston University, from 1993-1996. Leaving four years later he took a similar job at the University of Connecticut, working for head football coach, Skip Holtz. He left Connecticut after the 1998 season for the University of South Carolina, where he coached in a variety of roles including offensive line coach, and tackles and tight ends coach. After five years under Hall of Fame Coach, Lou Holtz, he accepted a job as George O'Leary's first offensive line coach at the University of Central Florida in the winter of 2004.

NFL coaching

DeGuglielmo left the University of Central Florida twenty three days later, joining the New York Giants staff under head coach Tom Coughlin whom he had served as a graduate assistant at Boston College 13 years earlier. In his tenure, the Giants made the playoffs four consecutive years, won Super Bowl XLII, and set a franchise record for rushing yards (2,518) and yards per carry (5.0) in 2008.[4]

In January of 2009, DeGuglielmo bid farewell to the New York Giants, and the cold of the northeast, for a job with the Miami Dolphins, to replace his mentor, Mike Maser, as the head offensive line coach, and reuniting him with his former offensive line coach (Boston University '88-'90), head coach Tony Sparano; in 2011 the Dolphins rushed for 1,987 yards in what was also Reggie Bush's first and only 1,000+ yard season of his career. Sparano's release as Dolphins' head football coach brought about changes in Miami, these changes included the dismissal of DeGuglielmo.

One day later, DeGuglielmo was hired, and subsequently named the New York Jets' offensive line coach on January 24, 2012, again reuniting him with now Jets offensive coordinator, Tony Sparano.[5] He was released only one year later on February 5, 2013, after the dismissal of Sparano as offensive coordinator, and spent the 2013 football season as a football analyst for Clear Channel Radio's Sports Talk First Edition, on 560 AM WVOC in Columbia, SC.[6]

On January 22, 2014, the New England Patriots announced they had hired DeGuglielmo as the new offensive line coach to replace Dante Scarnecchia, who retired after 30 years with the team; DeGuglielmo had a preliminary agreement to serve as offensive line coach at University of Maryland six days prior to the Patriots' announcement.[7] In spite of the Patriots' decision to trade away perennial Pro-Bowl offensive guard Logan Mankins ten days before the opening game of the season, and a rough start to the season as a result of starting lineup experimentation and premature use of rookie players, DeGuglilemo won his second Super Bowl ring in the Patriots' Super Bowl XLIX win over the Seattle Seahawks; after a horrible 2-2 start, and with eight sacks given up, the offensive line finished the year with a 15-4 record, giving up only 26 sacks, and improvement of fourteen sacks over the previous year under Scarnecchia. The 2015 season started much better as he juggled three rookies in the starting lineup to a 10-0 record; this included two 4th round selections and an undrafted free agent. Losing left tackle Nate Solder to a season ending injury against the Dallas Cowboys week five proved to be a hurdle the line could not overcome. Inadequate depth, and a lack of experience showed, as it was ravaged with injuries throughout the season, and DeGuglielmo was forced to play 30+ line combinations, and 13 different starting lineups. Despite the fact that the team's 38 sacks was still two sacks less than they had given up a year prior to DeGuglielmo's arrival, and that they had won 28 games in a two span of two seasons, DeGuglielmo's tenure with the Patriots would be over. It was announced on January 25, 2016, one day after the Patriots' offensive line "collapse[d]"[8] in the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos, that the team would not extend his contract beyond it's initial two year agreement.

Two days later, DeGuglielmo agreed to become the assistant offensive line coach of the San Diego Chargers.
