INDIANAPOLIS – Butler Football Head Coach Mike Uremovich added Sean Chase to the coaching staff over the weekend. Chase will coach tight ends and running backs for the Bulldogs in 2023. Prior to arriving on campus, Chase coached at Culver-Stockton College and Northern Illinois. 
 
Chase graduated from Northern Illinois in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in Arts in Rhetoric and Public Communication. During his time there, he served as the head student equipment manager. After graduation, he stayed with the Huskies program for two years serving as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line.
 
In 2018, Chase took on a new role as offensive line coach at Culver-Stockton College, a NAIA program located in Canton, Missouri. During his time at Culver-Stockton, he was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2021 and then to associate head coach in 2022.
 
In 2019, Chase coached four All-Conference offensive lineman (two second-team and two first-team) and the freshman offensive conference player of the year. As the offensive coordinator he helped the Wildcats post an 8-3 record in 2021—a school record for wins in a season. He also coached Andrew Rupcich, helping him earn an NFL contract as a free agent with the Tennessee Titans. Most recently, 2022 saw Chase serve as interim head coach for one game, leading the Wildcats to a 49-21 win.
 
"We are very excited to welcome Sean and his wife Michelle to the Butler family," Uremovich stated. "Sean has been a part of winning programs at multiple levels of college football. He has coached in national playoff games and bowl games. He has coordinated a highly successful offense at the college level and been a part rebuilding two other programs. Sean cares about the student-athletes and will help develop the men in our program both on and off the field."
