Widener University Athletics

Mark Fetterman is in his fifth season as the Pride’s defensive coordinator. His defense played a huge role in victories over Lebanon Valley and Lycoming in 2012 that helped Widener to the MAC title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.  The 2013 squad put forth another strong outing that saw Colin Masterson named Honorable Mention All-America by the Beyond Sports Network and allow its opponents to score a touchdown on just 48 percent (16-of-33) of its red-zone chances.  Fetterman returned to the college game after serving from 2000-04 as the defensive line coach and strength and conditioning coach at Lehigh. On the defensive line, he coached two All-Americans and 11 all-conference players. The Mountain Hawks in that stretch posted a 49-11 record and went to the NCAA Tournament three times. In his first four years on staff, Fetterman worked with former head coach Isaac Collins. Fetterman from 1997-99 was the defensive coordinator at Jacksonville University and from 1995-96 was the strength and conditioning coach at Ursinus, helping it to the 1996 NCAA Tournament. On the high school level, Fetterman was the defensive coordinator at Downingtown East High School from 2007-09. The squad went to the District I playoffs three straight years and notched a 25-11 record in that span. He also was the defensive coordinator at Coatesville High School from 2005-06 and an assistant coach at Glen Mills High School from 1989-94. Fetterman graduated West Chester University in 1988 with a B.S. in Sports Administration. He and his wife, Kim, are parents of Jessica, 15, and Jordan, 12.
