Chris Setian is in his first season as running backs coach in 2016. Setian was a four-year letterwinner for the Wildcats (2010-13) who served as a co-captain during his senior season when he ranked second on the team with 458 rushing yards (on 90 carries) and tied for the team lead with eight rushing TDs to earn the coveted Bill Bowes Coaches Award.
In 38 career games, the hard-nosed running back compiled 1,286 yards and 16 touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards/carry. The multi-purpose back tacked on 54 catches for 444 yards and six TDs and also excelled on special teams, where he racked up 29 tackles on kickoff coverage and returned seven kicks for 87 yards.
Setian was a two-time winner of the CAA Commissioner’s Academic Award and a two-time member of the CAA Academic All-Conference Team.
Setian spent a year as an offensive coaching intern under the direction of former UNH assistant coach Joe Conlin at Yale University (2014) for the No. 1 offense in FCS football. He was the interim running backs coach that spring before joining the UNH staff in a non-coaching capacity in 2015.
