Two Assistants To Move On

Word leaked out yesterday and the news hit the local paper this morning that Dartmouth assistant coaches Mike Hodgson and Cedric Calhoun will not return.

Hodgson came to Hanover with head coach Buddy Teevens in 2005 as tight ends coach and one year later was named offensive coordinator. He coached the tight ends last fall. Calhoun, who was in his fourth year on the staff, worked with the outside linebackers last fall after three seasons coaching the defensive line.

Although Dartmouth is in the midst of a severe budget crunch that will have an impact on the athletic department the news brief this morning confirmed that neither coaching position is being eliminated or consolidated.

Tight end/defensive end John Daniels of Masconomet High School in Massachusetts will be playing football at Dartmouth next year according to The Salem News. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound Daniels was a high school teammate of current freshman Teddy Reed. Daniels is a forward on the Masco basketball court and competes in the triple jump, high jump and 110 hurdles in the spring. For a photo of Daniels in the triple jump, click here. Daniels' father Bruce graduated from Dartmouth in the Class of 1980.
