UMass is hiring Rutgers defensive coordinator Joe Harasymiak as the new head coach of the Minutemen, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Harasymiak, 38, is expected to earn between $1.3 and $1.4 million annually, according to the report.
Harasymiak was the head coach at Maine from 2016-18, compiling a 20-15 record and winning a Colonial Athletic Association championship in 2018.
He played college football at Springfield College in Massachusetts before working as an assistant coach at Maine from 2011-15. Harasymiak was on the coaching staff at Minnesota from 2019-21 before joining Greg Schiano’s staff at Rutgers in 2022.
UMass parted ways with head coach Dan Brown on Nov. 18 after he compiled a 6-28 record in three seasons. Offensive coordinator Shane Montgomery coached the final two games for the Minutemen (2-10).
UMass moves from independent status into the Mid-American Conference next season.
