Dave Patenaude (born May 9, 1968) is the offense coordinator at Temple University. Prior to coming to Temple, Patenaude served as the offensive coordinator at Columbia, Georgetown and Coastal Carolina, where he produced multiple All-Americans. Patenaude also served as the head coach at New Haven for two years prior to the program being temporarily discontinued.
Patenaude spent time at the Coast Guard Academy, Springfield, Fordham, and Columbia before being named head coach at New Haven. Following Patenaude's two years at the helm of New Haven's football program, the university decided to drop the sport. Patenaude would then go to coach at Holy Cross, Hofstra and Georgetown before being named the offensive coordinator at Coastal Carolina in 2012.
In 2012, Patenaude became the offensive coordinator underneath Joe Moglia at Coastal Carolina. During Patenaude's first season, Coastal Carolina averaged 437.8 yards of offense a game. The season, in 2013, Coastal Carolina broke 25 single-season program records and finished in the Top 5 in five different FCS offensive categories. During that season, Patenaude mentored Lorenzo Taliaferro, who finished the season third in the FCS in rushing yards and touchdowns.
During the 2014 season, Patenaude's offense had two All-Americans in Alex Ross and Chad Hamilton. Ross would go on to win the Big South Conference's Player of the Year for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. In 2016, Coastal Carolina averaged 37.3 points per game despite using six different starting quarterbacks due to injuries. The 2016 season saw Patenaude mentor two more All-Americans in running back De'Angelo Henderson and offensive lineman Voghens Larrieux.
