Charley Molnar (born July 23, 1961) is an American football coach. He currently is the wide receivers coach for Idaho. He was formerly the head football coach at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass), for two seasons. Molnar had previously been the offensive coordinator at the University of Notre Dame.
Molnar began his coaching career at his alma mater Lock Haven University from 1984 to 1986, working with the wide receivers, tight ends, running backs and placekickers. He made his first entry into major college football as a graduate assistant at Virginia from 1987 to 1988. While with the Cavaliers, he assisted the quarterbacks coach. Molnar then called the offensive plays and coached quarterbacks at Western Carolina in 1989. He spent time as offensive coordinator as well as working with quarterbacks and wide receivers at Illinois State from 1990 to 1993, followed by seven seasons in the same capacity at Kent State from 1994 to 2000. Molnar coached quarterbacks at Eastern Michigan in 2002 and then from 2003 to 2004 at Western Michigan. He directed another record-setting quarterback during his only season at Indiana State in 2005. As the associate head coach and offensive coordinator of the Sycamores, Molnar’s offense broke six school passing records (including passing yards, completion percentage and touchdown passes) and two of his players combined to break 11 single-season or single-game school marks.
