Head football coach Adam Clark announced Tuesday the hiring of Nick Lucey as the acting offensive coordinator. Growing up as the son of a high school football coach, Lucey is no stranger to a football field.

Prior to WNMU, Lucey was the head coach for the Esbjerg Hurricanes, a semi-professional team in Denmark, for one season. Before joining the Hurricanes, Lucey served as the offensive graduate assistant at Washington State University from 2006 to 2009 and worked with the wide receivers, quarterbacks, and offensive line as well as special teams.

Lucey began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Curtis High School in Washington for one season (2002), followed by three seasons at Pullman High School (2003-2005). He helped lead Pullman to the Washington State 2A Championship in 2005 and runner-up finish in 2003.

A three-sport letterman and 1999 graduate of Curtis High School in University Place, Washington, Lucey went on to play quarterback and punter for one season at Western State College of Colorado before transferring to the University of Puget Sound in Washington and playing for two seasons.

Lucey completed his bachelor's in health and fitness from Washington State University (2006) as well as his master's in higher education administration (2009).
