Black Bears hire offensive coordinator from withinBrian Picucci will call the plays for the Black Bears next fall after coaching the offensive linemen last fall.
...Picucci, a 46-year-old native of Leominster, Massachusetts, was the offensive line coach last fall. He was formerly the offensive coordinator at the University of Massachusetts from 2009-12.
“I’m just excited knowing how knowledgeable Brian is,” said Harasymiak, UMaine’s head football coach. “I’ve had a lot of football conversations with him. He’ll be different from Liam. We’ll see what he brings to the table in terms of schemes and attack.
“But we’ve got a guy who’s proved himself and has done it and his football mind is very high.”
Harasymiak, who is entering his third year at Maine, said he offered Picucci the position the day after Coen left for Holy Cross. “It was a no-brainer for me, an easy promotion,” said Harasymiak.
