Michael David Kramer (born July 25, 1955) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the head football coach at Idaho State University of the Big Sky Conference. Kramer was previously the head coach at two other schools in the conference: Eastern Washington University (1994–1999) and Montana State University (2000–2006).[1] Kramer has coached teams to four Big Sky championships, one at Eastern Washington (1997), and three at Montana State (2002, 2003, and 2005).

Playing career[]

A native of Colton, Washington, south of Pullman, Kramer graduated from Colton High School in 1972 at age 16 and played college football at the University of Idaho in nearby Moscow. He was a lineman for the Vandals for four seasons under head coaches Don Robbins and Ed Troxel.[2] He started nine games at defensive end as a freshman in 1972, and seven on offense at center as a sophomore. During his final two seasons he started at guard for offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson. Kramer was named most inspirational player (Hec Edmundson award) and the team's outstanding blocker as a senior in 1975.[3][4] Kramer received his bachelor's degree from UI in 1977 and later earned a master's degree from EWU.
