Dartmouth Makes It Official: Hodgson Promoted

TRANSCRIPT of a Dartmouth Press Release:

Mike Hodgson Promoted to Offensive Coordinator for Dartmouth Football

Head coach Buddy Teevens has announced that assistant coach Mike Hodgson has been promoted to offensive coordinator. During his first season with the Big Green last year, he was responsible for coaching the tight ends and recruiting players in New England, western and central New York, western Pennsylvania and Ohio.

With more than 25 years in the coaching ranks, Mike Hodgson brings the most experience of any assistant on the Big Green staff. In 2004, Hodgson was quarterbacks and receivers coach at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania as the Fighting Scots were ranked as high as No. 18 in NCAA Division II.

From 2000-03, Hodgson was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks and wide receivers coach at Central Connecticut State University.

Hodgson was the head coach at Maine Maritime Academy from 1994-99 and led the Mariners to a pair of New England Football Conference titles (1994, 1998).

During a stint at Princeton University (1985-93), Hodgson served as wide receivers coach in helping the Tigers win Ivy League co-championships (with Yale in 1989 and Dartmouth in 1992).

Hodgson began his coaching career at the University of Maine, working with tight ends, the offensive line and running backs from 1979-85.

Hodgson graduated from Maine in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in park and recreation management. He then completed a master's in education administration in 1982. Hodgson was a three-year starter for Maine at tight end and also handled placekicking duties.

Hodgson and his wife Raeann have two children, a son, Kenney and a daughter Cassie.
