Colin Schaeffer was named the Bucknell football team's defensive line coach in May 2021. He was promoted to special teams coordinator before the 2022 season.
Schaeffer joined the Bison from SUNY Cortland, where he spent the previous two seasons. The Dragons, who had their 2020 campaign canceled due to the COVID-19 public health threat, went 8-3 (5-1 Empire 8) in 2019. Two of Schaeffer's linebackers captured All-Empire 8 accolades following that season.
Before his time at SUNY Cortland, Schaeffer served as a defensive line and defensive quality control coach at Seton Hill University in 2018 and as an outside linebackers coach at Muhlenberg College in 2016 and 2017. The Mules went a combined 17-5 (14-4 Centennial Conference) during his time with the program, earning a spot in the 2016 Centennial-MAC Bowl Series and the 2017 ECAC Football Fest.
Muhlenberg, which won the 2017 ECAC Asa S. Bushnell Bowl, ranked 12th nationally in rush defense that campaign. Schaeffer mentored three All-Centennial Conference and one D3Football.com All-South Region linebackers while a member of the Mule coaching staff.
Schaeffer broke into the collegiate coaching ranks as a volunteer linebacker coach at his alma mater, Juniata College. An inside linebacker for the Eagle football team, he graduated in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in management and a minor in English.
