Oscar Olejniczak, a 16-year coaching veteran, begins his fifth season at Campbell this fall. Olejniczak works as the team’s offensive coordinator with individual attention for the team’s offensive line and tight ends.

The Campbell running attack continued to be one of the more feared units in the Pioneer Football League in 2010. The team led the conference and ranked 16th nationally in rushing with an average of 207.73 yards a game. His line bulldozed its way to a school-record 416 yards on the ground against Valparaiso (11/6). CU also proved to be one of the more difficult to sack and the team allowed the second fewest sacks in the conference in 2010 (1.55 per game). Upon completion of the season five members of his offense were named All-PFL in tight end Mike Stryffeler (first team), offensive lineman Sam Issermoyer (second team), quarterback Daniel Polk (honorable mention), offensive lineman Branden Burt (honorable mention) and offensive lineman Jeremy Hill (honorable mention)

In 2009 his offense led the conference and ranked 13th nationally in rushing at 189.73 yards a contest. Campbell’s 2,087 yards rushing were 1,355 yards more than the team had accumulated the previous season.  At the end of the season four members of Campbell’s offense were named all league with tight end Mike Stryffeler and offensive lineman Sam Issermoyer both being All-PFL Second Team selections and receiver Harrison Jordan and center Troy Horan being honorable mention choices.
 
A wide receiver at Central Michigan from 1992-94, he has worked with the Fighting Camels offensive line and tight ends since his arrival in 2007. In 2009 he was promoted from the run game coordinator to the team’s offensive coordinator. In his first season as offensive coordinator Campbell improved to an average of 19.45 points a game and were able to top 200 yards rushing as team in five different games. In his second year (2010) the Campbell offense continued to make major strides and had three of the top 10 rushers in the conference while topping the 200 yard rushing mark in four different games. The CU offense scored 20 or more points in eight games and exploded plus set a school-record with 55 points against Valparaiso. The team placed fourth in the conference with their average of 23.7 points a contest and led the league with 26 rushing touchdowns. Olejniczak also oversaw Campbell’s regional and national recruiting efforts from 2008-10. A group of recruits that has proven to be the backbone of Campbell’s quickly improving football program.

At Michigan State, he was also responsible for film breakdown and running the defense and special team scout teams during the Spartans practices. Olejniczak was a key part in Spartans recruiting efforts, especially at the junior college level.

In addition to his on the field coaching duties, he ran the scout teams and was responsible for a portion of the Warriors recruiting efforts.
