Mike Babcock is entering his fifth season as an assistant coach with the ThunderWolves and his fourth as the team’s pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

After serving as tight ends coach for one season, Babcock undertook the Pack’s quarterbacks, and watched as Pack quarterbacks shattered most school passing records on an annual basis.

In 2010, he helped direct a ThunderWolves offense that averaged 36.7 points per game, 13th most in the nation. In 2011, during an 11-0 season, CSU-Pueblo averaged 33.0 points per game.

Babcock, who played linebacker for the Bruins at UCLA from 1997-99, was on two Pac-10 championship teams, and played in the 1998 Cotton Bowl and 1999 Rose Bowl. He received his Bachelor’s in sociology from UCLA in 2002 before earning his Master’s in education in 2004, also from UCLA. He was the tight ends coach at the University of San Diego in 2007, and was a graduate assistant at UCLA from 2000-04. From 2005-06, he was the offensive quality control intern at the University of Colorado.

Babcock and his wife, Kimberly, have a son, Tyler. The family resides in Pueblo.
