Jeff Hansen was introduced by new head coach Mike London on Feb. 1, 2008 as the assistant head coach/recruiting coordinator, returning to the Spiders after a one-year stint at VMI. Hansen, who played for the Spiders and graduated in 1972, is back for his stint on the Spiders' football coaching staff after serving from 1971-79 under Frank Jones and Jim Tait and again from 1989-2006 under Jim Reid and Dave Clawson. He will take the role of assistant head coach, serve as the program's recruiting coordinator and coach the defensive line. "I'm very please to welcome Jeff and his family back to the University of Richmond," said London. "He possesses a tremendous amount of coaching experience and a great history here with the Spiders." Boasting 36 years of collegiate coaching experience - 26 with Richmond - Hansen spent last season with Reid at VMI where he was the Keydets' defensive line coach and the program's Chief of Staff. While with the Spiders, Hansen mentored defensive lineman Sherman Logan, Johnny Campbell and Dan Mangiero, who were key parts of the Spiders' 2005 Atlantic 10 Championship team. That trio totaled 20.5 sacks; with a league-leading 11 coming from Logan on his way to the A-10's Defensive Rookie of the Year honor. Campbell was a two-time All-Conference performer. A native of Beloit, Wis., Hanson graduated from Beloit High School in 1967, following a successful scholastic football career. After earning All-Big Eight Conference honors, he came to the University of Richmond as a linebacker. He played on the 1968 Tangerine Bowl championship team and coached the 1971 Tangerine Bowl team. Hanson remained with the Spiders as a graduate assistant, coaching the freshmen defensive lineman from 1971-73 while completing his degree in physical education and his master's in education. Hanson then became a full-time member of Richmond's staff, working with the tight ends and receivers during his first year and with the defense for the next four seasons. Before returning to Richmond in 1989, Hanson had coaching stints at Marshall (1980-81), Lamar (1982-83), SW Texas State (1983-86) and West Texas State (1987-88). Hanson and his wife DeDe have three daughters, Laurie, Kristin and Katie.
