Tommies hire Mac coach St. Thomas' new coach won't have to change his commute much. The Tommies hired Macalester coach Glenn Caruso, who was introduced Thursday afternoon as the program's 29th head coach. He replaces Don Roney, who resigned after compiling a 54-44 record in 10 seasons. St. Thomas and Macalester are separated by a little over a mile of Grand Avenue in St. Paul. "My feelings for this job are very real. It this a place I could be for the rest of my career? Yeah," said the 33-year-old coach at Thursday's news conference. Caruso, an Ithaca graduate, was an assistant at South Dakota before taking the Macalester job. "I was looking for a guy who could take this campus by storm," said athletic director Steve Fritz. Other finalists included an NAIA national coach of the year, UW-Whitewater offensive coordinator Jim Zebrowski and a 30-year Division I and II assistant coach. | ||
