Sutyak is set for his third season as the Diplomats’ defensive coordinator. In his first year, his aggressive approach yielded 10 more sacks, 13 more fumbles, and eight more recovered fumbles, while his unit shaved 9.3 rushing yards from its per game average. In 2008, his unit allowed 55 less yards per game than the previous edition and added four more interceptions to the 2007 total.

An assistant coach at Fordham University in 2004 and 2005, Sutyak was responsible for the secondary and kickoff team in 2005. In 2004, he coached the cornerbacks, helping the Rams finish second in the Patriot League in passing defense, surrendering an average of 164.5 passing yards/game. Fordham's pass efficiency defense rating of 98.89 was second best in the League and eighth best in the nation for the NCAA I-AA while the 164.5 passing yard allowed per game was the 17th best and the overall defense was 32nd best in the country in I-AA. The Rams also led the Patriot League in turnovers forced, forcing opponents to give the ball up 29 times on the year (13 fumbles and 16 interceptions) in 2004.

As coordinator of the kickoff coverage team in 2004, Sutyak helped the Rams lead the Patriot League and rank ninth in the NCAA I-AA, allowing just 15.8 yards/kickoff return. Prior to Fordham, he spent the 2003 season on the staff at Bowdoin College.

As an assistant at Bowdoin College, he coached the secondary, broke down the opponents' passing game and scripted all of the defensive coverage and offensive plays in all throwing phases of practice.

He received his coaching start at Alleghany College in 2001 and 2002 where he coached the kick return unit and wide receivers and was also responsible for coaching the tight ends in the passing game.

A 2003 graduate of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with a Masters of Education degree and a 2001 graduate of Dickinson College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, Sutyak was a three-year letterman for the Red Devils leading the team to three winning seasons (7-3 in 1997, 8-3 in 1998, 6-4 in 1999 and 5-5 in 2000) for a 26-15 career record. In 1998, he helped the team to the Eastern College Athletic Conference title as he saw significant action as a running back during his career, but played a key role on special teams. Among the career leaders in career kick-off returns (second, 56) and return yards (second, 1,063), he ranks in the top 10 for punt returns (ninth, 26 returns) and return yards (10th, 222 yards).
