Dan Wodicka , a 2014 Johns Hopkins University graduate who served as defensive coordinator for the Blue Jays football team for the past two seasons, has been named JHU's next head football coach, the university announced Thursday. Wodicka becomes the 28th head coach in Johns Hopkins history and succeeds Greg Chimera, who stepped down last month to become the offensive coordinator at the University of Pennsylvania. "I look forward to continuing to work with our amazing student-athletes and building upon the championship tradition that Coach Margraff and Coach Chimera have set for this program." Dan Wodicka "Among an exceptionally talented and diverse pool of candidates for our head coaching position, Dan Wodicka truly set himself apart as the best person to lead our football program," Johns Hopkins athletics director Jennifer Baker said. "While we have had many years to work closely with Dan as a member of our staff, the vision he presented for the future of our program is wide-reaching and impactful on all levels and demonstrates his deep-rooted passion for Blue Jay football and Johns Hopkins University.
