New S&C coach a familiar face
Former NC State linebacker, Corey Edmond, has returned ‘home’ to Raleigh to serve as the strength and conditioning coach for the NC State football program.
Edmond’s most recent job has been head of strength and conditioning at Arizona. But, his resume runs impressively much deeper as he served as assistant strength and conditioning coach at Oklahoma. and head strength and conditioning coach at Tennessee-Chattanooga from 1995-1999. (Someone want to check if that overlaps with Buddy Green’s tenure there)?
Edmond is originally from Virginia and played for Dick Sheridan at NC State from 1987-1990 before spending two years with the Houston Oilers in the NFL.
Edmond played linebacker for the Wolfpack from 1987 to 1990 and worked the past eight seasons in strength and conditioning at the University of Arizona.
Edmond replaces Todd Rice, who left the program before the bowl win after 10 years with Tom O’Brien, the last five at N.C. State.
“We are excited to welcome Corey home,” O’Brien said in a statement released by the school. “He has an impressive resume and I know he will do a great job working with our student-athletes. He will be a great addition to our staff.”
Edmond worked at Tennessee-Chattanooga and Oklahoma, including during its 2000 BCS title season, before going to Arizona.
As a player for the Wolfpack, Edmond started at inside linebacker and played in three bowl games. He was a free agent signee with the Houston Oilers in 1991, then returned to State to finish his degree in 1993.
In related news, we ran across this article before the new year about Rob Murphy, NC State’s new Assistant Athletics Director/Director of Sports Medicine. The article is a quick read focusing on the changes Murphy has experienced at Mercer.

Yes – that would have been in Green’s tenure UTC.
Will he be bringing a Tuscarora Indian shaman with him?
B, and our little band, always had one available back in the day.
Well… he’d show up from time to time anyway.

Have there been any other developments among the offensive coaching staff? (I moved to Allentown, PA. The football news here is PSU and the Eagles. Rarely is the ACC mentioned.)
Sounds like a great hire-^1969E-is Gregory’s still in existence in Allentown out by the airport? Biggest steaks I’ve ever seen…
Hopefully this will help us out with that nasty injury bug that seems to be going around year in year out.
Now, the bigger question is who the new running backs coach is going to be?

Looking to see improvements in conditioning, strength, agility, awareness, technique and position expertise. That’s what I want for Christmas.
Great addition, maybe less injuries for next year. My wish list has the tenured Dana Bible, changing his conservative and predictable game plans. Enhancing an awesome passing attack! And not being one just to complain, I did write him and let him know how I felt about the offense, but in a nice way. So I can only hope he listened!
“I did write him and let him know how I felt about the offense, but in a nice way. So I can only hope he listened!” — That is great stuff!!
@NCSU88, I’m not sure a new S&C guy will have much of an impact on technique and position expertise, but I like your list nonetheless.
This is a huge hire. The S&C coach spends almost every day with these kids, and this guy is extremely well respected. Sounds like he whipped them day one yesterday.
For the record, he joined Oklahoma with Stoops, the year after Blake was fired.
Everybody always hates the OC and thinks he’s too conservative. Even USC hated all over Norm Chow.
Someone remind me why Rozanski resigned? New job somewhere else? Retired?
