Mike Schultz (born January 3, 1958) is an American football coach. Hired on December 21, 2016 to replace Ray Woodard, he was the second head coach of the Lamar Cardinals football program since its resurrection for the 2010 season.[1]

Schultz graduated from Sam Houston State University in 1979, after which he worked as a quarterbacks and running backs coach at the university. After spending the next two decades in several other assistant coaching positions, Schultz became the offensive coordinator at TCU in 2000, a post he held through the 2008 season. He then served as the OC at Illinois and Middle Tennessee for the 2009 and 2010 seasons, respectively, before moving back to Texas to hold the same position at Texas State under returning head coach Dennis Franchione from 2011 to 2015. The 2017 season at Lamar was Schultz's first as head coach.[2]
