Geep Wade is in his third year handling the offensive line on Rick Stockstill’s staff.
Wade’s 2015 group made it possible for the Blue Raiders to put up over 5,000 total yards for the third straight season while setting new records for passing yards and touchdowns. The 2015 offensive line paved the way for the 17th ranked passing attack in the nation, while the 2014 unit opened holes for an offense that ranked 30th nationally in rushing.
The 2015 offensive line had three members honored by Conference USA in Jaylen Hunter (first team), Maurquice Shakir (honorable mention) and Chandler Brewer (freshman team) and gave quarterback Brent Stockstill enough time in the pocket to amass a school record 3,678 passing yards.
Led by second team all-conference linemen Isaiah Anderson and Darius Johnson in 2014, the Blue Raiders had four different players rush for more than 100 yards in a game, while quarterback Austin Grammer became the first quarterback in school history to throw for over 200 yards in each of his first seven games.
In 2013, Wade helped develop all-conference performer Josh Walker while engineering a group that helped five different players rush for over 100 yards in a game. The unit also paved the way for an offense that ranked 31st nationally in rushing and led Conference USA in rushing for league games.
Wade made his way to Murfreesboro from Marshall where he coached the offensive line in 2012. His 2012 unit helped Marshall register 365.0 passing yards per game (first in FBS), 534.2 yards of total offense (sixth in FBS) and 40.9 points a game (seventh in FBS), all C-USA highs. His line also withstood the pounding of an FBS-high 90.6 plays per game, and paved the way for 24 rushing touchdowns. The offense also produced just over 20 plays of 10 yards or longer per game to lead the nation.
Wade spent two seasons leading the offensive line at Tennessee-Chattanooga, his alma mater (2002 graduate), while also serving as the recruiting coordinator. He returned to the sidelines for his second stint as an assistant coach at UTC after serving on the Mocs' staff in 2002 following his graduation.
Wade was in charge of the tackles and tight ends during the 2010 campaign, helping Chris Harr (OT) and Garrett Hughes (TE) to first team All-SoCon honors. The play of the offensive line allowed the Mocs to finish 11th nationally in total offense (430 yards per game), while the unit threw for an average of 277 yards, second in the SoCon and eighth nationally.
Wade spent the previous four seasons as an assistant coach at Tennessee-Martin, serving as the offensive coordinator in 2009. In 2008, the Skyhawks posted an 8-4 overall record, ranking fourth in the nation in scoring offense (37.33).
In 2007, Wade and the Skyhawk offense ranked No. 1 in the Ohio Valley Conference in total offense (433 yards per game) and points scored per game (33.36). The team finished first in rushing offense (218.5) in the OVC, 12th in the nation.
Before coming to UT Martin in 2006 with head coach Jason Simpson, Wade was an offensive line coach at Western Carolina and Midwestern State in Texas. He also enjoyed a stint at Tennessee where he was an offensive line grad assistant for the Volunteers in 2004, the same year the team won the Southeastern Conference East Division title and the Cotton Bowl. In 2003, Wade coached the offensive line and served as the recruiting coordinator at Mars Hill College.
Wade was a team captain and an offensive lineman at UTC from 1999 to 2001, earning his degree in Business Management in 2002. He is married to the former Amy Howell of McKenzie, Tenn. They have one daughter, Emma Kate.
