He was the only head coach the Hawk program had ever had until now. Monmouth OC Jeff Gallo was elevated to head coach to replace Callahan.

Monmouth has always had a lot of very good skill players on offense… I say always but really I’m only talking about the past six or seven years

All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

Bucknell gets Jeff Behrman from D-III John Carroll. He was also at Stony Brook in the early 2010s.

Presbyterian Elevates Matt Rahl

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

Presbyterian O-Line coach, Run-Game Coordinator, and Recruiting Coordinator Matt Rahl was promoted to head coach to replace Steve Englehart. Rahl has coached at 7 different schools, but this is his first head-coaching gig.

With this hire and the two posted by bonarae within the last couple days, that leaves Howard as the only currently unfilled position.

Howard hired Maryland offensive analyst and former Howard OC Ted White to be their head coach. He's a Bison alum who briefly played in the NFL and a few years in NFL Europe.

All positions are filled at the moment, I'm pretty certain.
