Posadowski played at Villanova University from 1957 to 1959.
Posadowski's coaching career began at Bishop McDevitt High School, where he compiled a 17-15-5 in four season as head football coach.[1] He spent two seasons as a part-time assistant at Villanova before becoming the Wildcats offensive line coach in 1969.[2] Posadowski spent one season (1976) as an assistant at Idaho State University.[3]
Posadowski joined the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1977 as offensive line coach. After a 0–5 start to the 1978 season, head coach Jim Eddy was fired and Posadowski was named head coach.[4] The Roughriders finished the season 4-11-1 and Posadowski was replaced by retiring quarterback Ron Lancaster.[5]
