Bill Tierney- Off to the Wild West
Jun 16th

Pretend for a second that you have been coaching for 22 years, have won 14 Ivy league championships, 6 National championships and produced countless All-Americans. What are you thinking about? Retirement…your incoming stacked recruiting class, the beach??? Not Bill Tierney. He decided to move across the country and leave the comforts of Princeton University to coach at Denver University. That’s quite a big move for such an established college coach. Think of it as Mike Krzyzewski leaving Duke to coach at Seattle University or Joe Paterno leaving Penn State to coach at UNLV. Tierney is a coaching legend in the lacrosse community and has built a powerhouse program from scratch. How can he leave? Listen to the Podcast below to find out. It makes complete sense for him and we wish him the best of luck.
