Football 1978-79

Steve Krainock was the first no-huddle-offense quarterback under then-assistant football coach Tom Craft. The duo became recognized innovators of the no-huddle offense, for which Coach Craft became a national clinic speaker and the modern Palomar College football was born. A Mt. Carmel High School grad, Krainock utilized the system's advantages at Palomar to pass for 2,983 years in 1979, which earned for him an athletic scholarship to the University of Richmond. In two seasons (1980-81) as the starter for the Spiders, who went 0-11 before his arrival and 0-10 after his departure, Krainock engineered nine wins in 20 games, completing a total of 228 passes in 449 attempts (50.8 percent), connecting for 20 touchdowns and running for five more. After college, Krainock signed as a free agent and gained NFL pre-season experience with the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, and San Diego Chargers.
