Coaching Career

Tim Drevno enters his fourth season on the Stanford coaching staff and his 18th campaign as a collegiate coach. He will again work with the offensive line this season after serving as the team's tight end coach during his first two seasons on The Farm.

Under his direction and assistance from Greg Roman, Stanford's offensive line was one of the best units in the nation last season. The Cardinal allowed just seven sacks in 13 games last season, which were the fewest in the Pac-10 and second fewest country.

The offensive line, dubbed the "Tunnel Worker's Union" paved the way for Stanford to rack up a school-record 2,837 yards on the ground, as the Cardinal averaged 218.2 yards a game on the ground to rank second in the Pac-10 and 11th nationally in rushing average.

All five members of the offensive line garnered postseason honors. Senior Chris Marinelli earned first team All-Pac-10 and second team AP All-America honors. Center Chase Beeler was a second team all-conference selection while Andrew Phillips, David DeCastro and Jonathan Martin earned honorable mention marks.

The 2006 San Diego squad that finished 11-1 overall led all NCAA Division I-AA teams in passing offense (293.3 ypg), total offense (494.25 ypg) and scoring offense (42.83 ppg). Quarterback Josh Johnson was one of four offensive All-Americans on the team and led all NCAA Division I-AA quarterbacks in passing efficiency (169.0 quarterback rating), touchdown passes (34, co-leader), points responsible for (24.33 ppg) and total offense (336.7 ypg), while throwing for 3,320 yards to also lead the country and running for another 721.

DeMulling was also drafted by Indianapolis in the seventh round of the 2001 NFL Draft and played four seasons with the Colts (2001-04) before two campaigns (2005-06) with the Detroit Lions and 2007 as a member of the Washington Redskins.
