UMass Football News--January 25th, 2025

 New UMass HC Joe Harasymiak talks with reporters on the state of the new era in UMass football.

He talks about assembling the coaching staff and recruiting. Harasymiak said he hadn't seen the UMass players practice, so he couldn't comment on how he thought the talent level is.

The Hampshire Gazette has Harasymiak reflects on his first weeks as the Minutemen's head coach.

The Daily Collegian has UMass rounds out its coach staff with Jaret Keyte as defensive coordinator.

Hustle Belt has an exhaustive look at potential expansion candidates for the Mid American Conference.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention Liam Coen's being named HC for the Jaguars. He is, I believe, the first UMass player to be an NFL head coach.

I might mention Mrs Blog and I were out in Hamilton, NY when Liam came into game against Colgate in the second half and ignited a furious UMass comeback that just fell short. That was his first game action for UMass.
