Tye Hiatt is entering his second season as the offensive coordinator for the Frostburg State University football program in 2015.
Under his guidance, Frostburg finished seventh in the Empire 8 last fall in rushing yards (1,273) and rushing yards per game (127.3). The Bobcats totaled 2,490 yards in total offense and scored 20 touchdowns. Frostburg posted a season-high 343 yards in total offense in a 38-37 double overtime victory over 25th-ranked Ithaca on Homecoming.
Frostburg also led the Empire 8 and finished 12th in the nation for fewest turnovers with 12.
Hiatt came to Frostburg following a three-year stint with the Southern Virginia University football program. Hiatt served as wide receivers coach in 2011 and was promoted to the run game coordinator position for the 2012 season.
In 2013, Hiatt was SVU's offensive coordinator and directed a group that averaged 30 points per game, racked up 323.0 yards per contest in total offense and held the ball for nearly 33 minutes a game. The Knights, who won a school-record eight games in '13, posted over 400 yards in total offense in three of the team's final five games.
Hiatt was a four-year member and standout wide receiver for the Southern Virginia football program. He is second all-time in school history in career receiving yards (1,591), receptions (127) and touchdown receptions (15) while placing third in all-purpose yards (1,871).
Hiatt garnered NAIA All-Independent First Team, Roanoke Times All-State First Team and VaSID All-State Second Team honors following a stellar senior season in 2008. That same year, Hiatt was named an NAIA Honorable Mention All-American.
He earned his bachelor's degree from Southern Virginia in physical education and recreation administration in 2012 and is currently working on his master's degree in sport management at Liberty University.
