Paul Lucian Pasqualoni (/pæskəˈloʊni/; born August 16, 1949) is an American football coach who is currently the defensive line coach at Boston College. He is a former head coach for the Syracuse University football team.
Pasqualoni has served as the defensive coordinator of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, and as the defensive line coach and interim defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys. He is perhaps most notable, however, as the former head coach of the Syracuse University football team from 1991 to 2004.
A native of Cheshire, Connecticut, Pasqualoni attended Cheshire High School, where he lettered in football and basketball. Following graduation, he continued to Bordentown Military Institute, also lettering on the football squad, and graduating in 1968. Pasqualoni then enrolled at Penn State, where he was a walk-on and subsequent letterman, as a linebacker under head coach Joe Paterno. In 1972, he received a B.S in health and physical education, then finished his education at Southern Connecticut State, receiving a M.S. in physical education and human performance.
