James Perry is named running-backs coach 2:02 p.m., March 16, 2006--James Perry, a former standout quarterback at Brown University who served as an assistant coach at the University of Maryland the past two seasons, has been named an assistant coach for the University of Delaware football team. UD Head Coach K.C. Keeler said Perry will have responsibilities coaching the Fightin' Blue Hen running backs. Perry served as a graduate assistant with the offense the last two seasons at the University of Maryland. His duties included breaking down opponent game film, working with the defensive scout team and assisting with the Terrapin offensive line. Perry was an outstanding four-year quarterback at Brown, earning All-Ivy League honors three times and being named the Ivy League Player of the Year as a senior in 1999 when he threw for 3,255 yards and 27 touchdowns and led the school to its second league title in school history. He holds virtually every school and Ivy League passing record, and spent the 2001 season in NFL Europe and the Arena Football League. Perry began his coaching career as assistant quarterbacks and wide-receivers coach at Dartmouth College in 2001 and served as quarterbacks coach at the University of San Diego in 2002. He served as quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at NCAA Division III power Williams College before moving to Maryland. Keeler also announced that Brian Ginn has been assigned duties as wide-receivers coach. Former receivers coach Neal Brown left UD to accept an assistant coaching position at Troy (Ala.) State University earlier this month. Ginn, a former UD standout at quarterback, served as a graduate assistant in 2000, as receivers coach in 2001 and as running-backs coach the last four seasons. |
