Mike Burchett was named Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach at Fordham in March of 2018.

Burchett had an immediate impact in his first year on Rose Hill as the Fordham passing game ranked first in the Patriot League while freshman quarterback Tim DeMorat set a school freshman record with eleven touchdown passes, completing 148 passes for 1,633 yards, both second best all-time among Fordham freshmen.

Burchett arrived at Fordham after spending three years at West Virginia University, the plast year as the Offensive Analyst where he was responsible for advanced scouting, preliminary game planning, and offensive self-scout.  He also assisted in developing weekly game plans, specifically the pass game plan, and scripted the defensive scout team based on the offensive game plan.
 
In his first two years in Morgantown, Burchett served as an Offensive Graduate Assistant where he was responsible for coaching the quarterbacks under the supervision of head coach Dana Holgorsen. He also conducted all position meetings and daily drills with the Mountaineer quarterbacks and assisted in developing weekly pass game plans. Burchett’s in-game duties included assisting with play calling and communicating with the head coach and quarterbacks.
 
Prior to his stint at West Virginia, Burchett was an Offensive Graduate Assistant at his alma mater, the University of Kentucky, in 2014 where he assisted the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach in providing detailed breakdowns of opponent’s coverage tendencies, first down tendencies and opening drive tendencies. He also compiled opponent scouting reports, composed daily quarterback cut-ups for position meetings and coached the scout team, defensive secondary and linebackers.
 
A 2014 graduate of Kentucky with a degree in mathematical economics, Burchett was a preferred walk-on for the Wildcats in 2010 and 2011, being a part of the 2011 team that appeared in the BBVA Compass Bowl. He transferred to West Virginia in 2011 where he served as the backup to Geno Smith for two years as the Mountaineers won the 2011 Big East championship and the 2012 Orange Bowl.
 
Burchett returned to Kentucky in 2013 where he served as a student assistant while finishing his undergraduate degree. He also earned a master’s degree in corporate and organizational communication from West Virginia in 2016.
