Art Asselta, former assistant coach at Yale University, was named assistant football coach at Fordham University in February of 2020. He was promoted to associate head coach in the spring of 2021 and to offensive coordinator in 2023. He will also be responsible for the Fordham quarterbacks for the third straight year in 2025 after leading the wide receivers the previous three years.

In 2023, the Fordham offense fired on all cylinders, led by the passing game which led the Patriot League and ranked 12th in the NCAA FCS in passing yards/game (275.6) and was second in the League and 13th in the nation in total offense (428.0 yards/game).
