Kinda suprised it hadn't already happened....

Brock Olivo enters his third season with the Chiefs in 2016. He previously spent two seasons (2012-13) as an assistant coach with Coastal Carolina where he coached the running backs and assisted on special teams.

With Olivo’s guidance, K Cairo Santos recorded 129 points in the 2015 regular season, and tied for the second-most points by an individual player in a playoff game with 12 points in the Wild Card playoff game in Houston. Additionally P Dustin Colquitt grabbed the top ranking in NFL history for percentage of punts inside the 20 (39.7%) since 1976 with 353.

Olivo also assisted with the return and coverage units, in which over the 2013-15 seasons, the Chiefs led the NFL in kick returns (130) for 3,537 yards and average starting field position after kickoff (27.2).

Under Olivo’s tutelage at Coastal Carolina, senior RB Lorenzo Taliaferro shattered a number of Chanticleer single-season rushing records, including yards (1,729), attempts (276), touchdowns (27), yards per game (115.3), all-purpose yards (1,882), 100-yard rushing games (nine), multi-rushing touchdown games (eight), points scored (174) and most total touchdowns scored (29). In 2012, the Chanticleers averaged 199.2 rushing yards per game to rank 25th in the Football Championship Subdivision and in 2013, Coastal Carolina ranked eighth among FCS teams, averaging 252.1 rushing yards per game.

Prior to joining Coastal Carolina in 2012, Olivo spent the 2011 season as running backs coach for the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League (UFL).

Before joining the Omaha Nighthawks, Olivo served as head coach and offensive coordinator of the Italian National Football Team. He was also the head coach, offensive coordinator and special teams coordinator of the S.S. Lazio Marines, a Serie A1 team which competes in Italy’s IFL, the country’s highest level of American football.

He spent four seasons (1998-01) with the Detroit Lions, serving as a running back and as a special teams player. During those four seasons, he played alongside his cousin, Scott Kowalkowski, who enjoyed an 11-year NFL career as a linebacker and standout special teams player. Olivo’s uncle, Bob Kowalkowski, played 13 seasons in the NFL as an offensive lineman. Olivo’s father, David, played QB for the St. Louis Cardinals.

A product of the University of Missouri, Olivo set the then-school career record for rushing yards with 3,026 from 1994-97 and led the team in scoring in three straight seasons from 1994-96. Olivo was also the nation’s first recipient of the Mosi Tatupu Award, an honor bestowed on college football’s top special teams player. He became just the seventh player in Missouri football history to have his number (27) retired. A 2000 graduate, he received his degree in English. While at Missouri, Olivo played for a Tigers coaching staff that included Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub, who held the title of strength and conditioning coach and defensive line coach for more than a decade (1989-00). Following his NFL career, Olivo worked three years at the National Italian American Foundation.
