Linebackers<br />
John Lindley<br />
Defensive Line<br />
Aaron Shreffler<br />
John Lindley enters his sixth<br />
season coaching the Hillsdale College<br />
linebackers. His previous coaching<br />
stops have included Central Michigan<br />
University, Tiffin University, Michigan<br />
Tech University and Eastern Michigan<br />
University.<br />
An enthusiastic and passionate<br />
coach, Lindley hits the practice field<br />
with one standing philosophy: “We will<br />
be the most aggressive linebacking unit<br />
in football.” Under Lindley’s guidance,<br />
linebacker Tom Korte put together an<br />
outstanding four-year career for the<br />
Chargers from 2005-08, and signed with<br />
the defending Super Bowl champion<br />
Pittsburgh Steelers.<br />
Lindley was an assistant coach<br />
at CMU under newly elected College<br />
Football Hall of Famer Herb Deromedi<br />
in 1991 when the Chippewas upset then-<br />
No. 18 ranked Michigan State, 20-3. In<br />
the summer of 2006, Lindley enjoyed one<br />
of the great experiences of his life when<br />
he observed U.S. Marine Corps training<br />
procedures at the base in Quantico, Va.<br />
Aaron Shreffler will enter<br />
his fourth season in charge of<br />
Hillsdale’s defensive line in <strong>2010</strong>,<br />
making him a part of the same<br />
coaching staff as his older brother<br />
Nate.<br />
Shreffler is the brother of<br />
current Chargers’ offensive line<br />
coach Nate Shreffler. Aaron<br />
Shreffler came to Hillsdale after<br />
spending one season as the<br />
offensive line coach at Georgia<br />
Southern University. He spent<br />
the prior seven seasons with St.<br />
Francis (Ind.) coaching both the<br />
offensive and defensive lines.<br />
Shreffler played center for<br />
Ohio University from 1992-97,<br />
but was recruited to play for<br />
Hillsdale when he was a prep<br />
standout at Celina (Ohio) High<br />
School. While at Celina, Shreffler<br />
won several individual awards,<br />
including All-Region and All-<br />
Northwest Ohio.<br />
Aaron lives in Hillsdale with his wife<br />
Molly, and their daughter Lilly.<br />
Tight ends/H-Backs<br />
Pat Hornak<br />
A popular, veteran member of the<br />
coaching staff, Pat Hornak plays an<br />
important role in the day-to-day running<br />
of the Charger football program.<br />
Pat is entering his fourth season<br />
as the tight ends and H-backs coach, in<br />
addition to his widely ranging duties as<br />
director of football operations.<br />
In his first season of coaching the<br />
H-backs and tight ends in 2007, Pat<br />
played an instrumental role in Hillsdale’s<br />
record-breaking offense. Both of those<br />
positions play critical roles in the diversity<br />
and depth of the Charger offense.<br />
Pat’s responsibilities as DFO include<br />
equipment maintenance and repair<br />
as well as game and practice video<br />
responsibility. Pat joined the Hillsdale<br />
College football program as a player in<br />
1999, and is in his ninth season as part of<br />
the team’s coaching staff.<br />
Pat’s nephew Tim is a redshirtfreshman<br />
offensive lineman for the<br />
Chargers.<br />
