Air Force OC Mike Thiessen brings elite efficiency and a run-game identity
Thiessen is best known for building a disciplined, rep-heavy Air Force offense that has consistently ranked among the nation’s best rushing units and produced 30-plus points per game over a long stretch. He stands out for efficiency, player development, and a clear system fit: if you want a quarterback-friendly structure that thrives on precision, toughness, and execution rather than flashy volume, Thiessen’s offense is the model. He’s also a former Air Force player who has spent his entire coaching career there, which reinforces continuity and culture.
