Harvard should have a new head coach this week

Harvard is expected to name its next head coach this week.

Jason Lammers (Niagara head coach), Jason Tapp (Dartmouth associate head coach), and Rob Rassey (Michigan associate head coach) were the three finalists for the position. On-campus interviews were completed last week.

There had been speculation that Lane MacDonald was leading the search committee. However, I’ve been told that MacDonald, a prominent Harvard alum, has not been involved in the hiring process because his son, Ben MacDonald, is entering his senior season with the Crimson. According to multiple sources, both sides wanted to avoid any potential conflicts of interest given the circumstances.

Whoever is hired will need to hit the ground running.
