Mike Pedone is now in his 12th season as offensive line coach at Holy Cross, while adding the title of assistant head coach to his responsibilities in 2006. Pedone will also be in his sixth year as the Crusaders' run-game coordinator.

During his tenure at Holy Cross, Pedone has developed several All-Patriot League players, including David Cannon, Chris Conley, Jefferson Exil, Steve Fox, Jamie Grabowski, Hall McMillan, Patrick Quay and Andrew Schoepfer. He has also been able to prepare a great number of players for game action, allowing the Crusader offense to keep clicking, even when starters go down due to injury. During the 2004 season, Pedone coached an offensive line on which eight different players started at least one game.

Prior to coming to Holy Cross, Pedone spent one season working as an assistant offensive line coach and tight ends coach at Boston University in 1995.

Pedone is a graduate of Boston University, earning his bachelor's degree in 1994 and his master's degree in 1996. He had a distinguished career playing for the Terriers, serving as captain of the 1993 and 1994 teams which advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. He began his career as a defensive lineman, but after switching to the offensive line in 1993, he earned All-Yankee Conference, All-East and honorable mention All-America honors in 1994.

Pedone and his wife, the former Sarah Ann Campbell, reside in Worcester with their son, Zachary.
