Less than a week after former Missouri Western football Offensive Coordinator Tyler Fenwick became the Head Coach at Missouri S & T, head coach Jerry Partridge has announced that current Offensive Line Coach Todd Throckmorton has been promoted to Offensive Coordinator.

Throckmortum, a MWSU alum, begins his 14th season (3 different stints) at MWSU this year and will also continue his role as Offensive Line Coach.

Throckmorton was the offensive line coach at Missouri Western from 2004-05, the second stint at his alma mater. Throckmorton was an assistant from 1990-96 and graduated from Missouri Western in 1987.

Prior to Missouri Western, Throckmorton spent four years as the head coach at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo. He compiled an overall record of 11-33 from 2000-03, including 7-25 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC).

Prior to Fort Lewis, Throckmorton was at San Jose State, where he was an assistant coach for three seasons from 1997-99.

Throckmorton spent seven years at Missouri Western from 1990-96, coaching a variety of positions for the Griffons, including wide receivers, offensive line and linebackers. He was Missouri Western’s assistant head coach during the 1996 season.

Throckmorton was a graduate assistant coach on the offensive line at the University of South Dakota in 1989. He served as the restricted earnings coach at East Tennessee State University during the spring of 1990, responsible for tight ends and tackles.

A former offensive and defensive lineman, Throckmorton received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Missouri Western in 1987. Throckmorton graduated from the University of South Dakota in 1989 with a master’s degree in physical education.
