Former Columbia assistant coach and Penn offensive coordinator Bill Schmitz has been found dead after an apparent suicide.
Schmitz coached as a graduate assistant at CU in 1979 and 1980, before getting bigger jobs at several different programs.
His last foray into the Ivy League ended after Penn fired him after the 2008 season.
Last year I wrote about how Schmitz sent one of his Land O'Lakes HS players Columbia's way. That player, Darin Patmon, has since left the team.
Our condolences to coach Schmitz's family and friends.

Didn't realize he also coached at Columbia. Very, very sad. Thoughts and prayers for his family.
