Missouri Western State University Athletics

On December 16, 2022, Missouri Western State University head football coach Tyler Fenwick announced Patrick St. Louis will serve as the running backs coach. Fenwick expressed his confidence in St. Louis' abilities and respect for him as a former player.

St. Louis has coached several prolific running backs since working under Coach Fenwick. In 2023, he helped running back Seth Cromwell earn MIAA Freshman of the Year honors. Cromwell tied a single season program record that year with 18 rushing touchdowns, which was also most in the MIAA. St. Louis also helped running back Brandon Hall reach third team all-MIAA status in 2023 and again in 2025.

St. Louis led a run game in 2024 that ranked No. 3 in the MIAA in rushing yards per game (163.6). The Griffons' run game was No. 1 in the MIAA in 2023 (200.2 ypg).

Previously, St. Louis was named co-offensive coordinator in 2018 after serving as run game coordinator and offensive line coach in 2017. In 2021, he helped lead the team to an impressive scoring average of 34 points per game, while producing excellent numbers for the offensive line with over 200 yards on the ground per game and breaking the five yards per carry mark. Four Griffons from his area received All-MIAA accolades for the 2022 season.
 
St. Louis began his coaching career at Missouri Western as a student assistant, then served as a graduate assistant at Morehead State from 2009-10. He also served as the offensive line coach at Olivet College in 2012. St. Louis earned his Masters of Arts in Education from Morehead State University in 2010. He and his wife, Chastity, have two sons, Aiden and Grey, and they live in St. Joseph, Missouri. Together, they create a warm and nurturing environment for their family to thrive in.
