Butler University Athletics

Adam Siwicki joined the Butler football program in January of 2022 as the team's defensive line coach. Head Coach Mike Uremovich promoted Siwicki to recruiting coordinator before the start of the 2023 season and tabbed him defensive coordinator on Jan. 11 prior to the 2024 campaign.

"Adam has been an extremely successful coordinator at two different stops before Butler," Uremovich explained. "I have no doubt this will continue as he leads our defense."
 
The Bulldogs recorded 15 sacks in each of the first two seasons with Siwicki overseeing the defensive line unit. Disrupting opposing offenses at the line of scrimmage was critical for a Bulldog defense that nearly led all FCS programs in red zone defense in 2023.

Butler finished the 2023 campaign ranked seventh in the FCS in scoring defense (17.5) and 22nd in total defense. Siwicki's group in particular had 59 tackles for loss in 2023 and 51 in 2022.
 
Prior to Butler, Siwicki spent five seasons at Culver-Stockton, a NAIA program located in Canton, Missouri. He worked as the team’s defensive coordinator and was promoted to associate head coach in 2019 while still overseeing the Wildcat defense and working as the linebacker coach.
 
In 2019, the Wildcats ranked fifth in passing defense and ninth in total defense among all NAIA teams. In addition, Siwicki orchestrated a defense that finished 11th in the NAIA in total sacks (34) and 18th in scoring defense (19.1 ppg).
 
Before working at Culver-Stockton, Siwicki spent two seasons at Northern Illinois as a defensive graduate assistant working with defensive linemen. He also worked at the University of Saint Francis for two years. While at USF, Siwicki served as the defensive coordinator in 2014 after coaching safeties in 2013. Saint Francis finished seventh in the NAIA in total yardage allowed when Siwicki took over as DC. His first coaching job after graduation came at Montana Tech in 2012.
 
Siwicki earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Aurora University in 2012 and a master's degree in adult and higher education from Northern Illinois in 2016. He was a Second Team All-Northern Athletics Conference selection as a linebacker at Aurora and earned the Richard Rickey Award that recognizes the male senior athlete who best demonstrates leadership on and off the field as well as athletic performance.
 
Adam and his wife Megan have two children; Blake and Noah.
