Tony Dews: WR Coach at Michigan

Coach Dews is a young energetic coach. His specialty is special teams. But he is also a dynamic recruiter. He has only 1 year of experience at WR's, but with experienced spread guys like Coach Smith, Coach Magee, and Coach Rod himself on staff he should still be effective.

Tony Dews returned to the Mountaineer coaching staff in March, 2007, to tutor the WVU wide receivers. Dews came to WVU from UNLV, where he served as linebacker coach and associate special teams coordinator in 2006. He was tight ends coach at Central Michigan from 2004-05, and coached the defensive line at Holy Cross in 2003.

From March, 1999, through, April, 2002, he was a graduate assistant at West Virginia, working with both the offensive line and the secondary. His coaching resume also includes stops at California, Pa. (2002), Millersville (1998) and Bainbridge (Ga.) High School (1997).

A native of Lynchburg, Va., Dews is a 1996 graduate of Liberty University, where he led the Flames in receptions two seasons as an all-Virginia tight end. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology; Dews received a master’s degree in athletic coaching education from WVU in 2001.

He and his wife Tamika have three daughters: Savannah, Sierra and Sydney.

Coaching Philosophy
“I coach because I love it, because of the competitiveness and the camaraderie of athletics. I love the way that coaches have a direct influence on the outcome of the lives of their players. In coaching, you know at the end of each day whether you’ve gotten something accomplished or helped motivate a young person in the right direction. I love to see those results.” - Tony Dews
