University of Cincinnati football head coach Scott Satterfield announced on Monday the addition of Brad Wittke as the chief of staff for the Bearcats football program.
“I’m excited to welcome Brad Wittke as the chief of staff of our football program,” Satterfield said. “Brad will work closely with me and together with our university administration on all aspects of our football program. He brings a ton of high-level experience in college football. I can’t wait for him to get started.”
Wittke comes to Cincinnati after serving as Syracuse’s associate athletic director for football operations. He also has experience as the director of football operations at Bowling Green as well as serving in the front office with the Arena Football League’s Pittsburgh Power and in operations roles at Eastern Illinois and Arizona State.
During his eight years with the Orange, he served as the administrative lead and was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the football team, including budget management, capital projects, travel, meals and the team calendar – among several other duties.
While at Syracuse, Wittke worked closely with Nike to design the uniforms the Orange debuted in 2019. He led several major projects to enhance Syracuse’s football facilities and managed the logistics for Syracuse’s appearances in three bowl games.
Before joining the Orange in 2016, he served as Bowling Green’s director of football operations for one year.
Prior to joining the Falcons, he spent three seasons as the director of player personnel for the Pittsburgh Power. He also served as an operations assistant at Arizona State and worked as a graduate assistant for the basketball team at Eastern Illinois.
Wittke holds a bachelor’s degree from Arizona State and a master’s degree from Eastern Illinois.
He and his wife, Jane, have a son, Brooks, and a daughter, Leighton.
