Mark Nolan is in his third year as the assistant director for football operations, as he officially joined the Colorado staff in June 2006. His duties expanded after his first year when he initially was involved in mainly the on-campus recruiting program.

Nolan, 35, joined the CU staff from Brophy College Prep in Phoenix, Ariz., where he spent the last four years teaching history and was the school’s defensive coordinator and head track coach.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Willamette University in 1995, where he lettered four seasons as a defensive back and earning all-conference honors as a junior and senior. He played two seasons under current CU coach Dan Hawkins. He also lettered four times in track (sprints and relays).

He began his coaching career at his alma mater, coaching the defensive line in 1995 and the defensive backs in 1996, both under Hawkins, with one of his players being current CU assistant operations director Robert Tucker that season. He then moved on to Gilbert (Ariz.) High School, where he taught classes (history and physical education) and was the school’s assistant varsity coach for football and track from 1997-2001. He then moved on to Brophy.

He was born October 13, 1972 in Aumsville, Ore., and graduated from Cascade High School, where he lettered in football, basketball and track. He is married to the former Aspen Phelps, and they have a daughter, Barett (5).
