The Ithaca College football program will welcome Brandon Maguire to South Hill as its new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach heading into the 2024 season. Maguire brings over a decade of coaching experience to the Ithaca football program.
Maguire most recently served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at the University of Chicago during the 2023 season. The Maroons went 6-4 last season in the Midwest Conference and averaged 32.5 points and 402.5 yards per game. Four offensive players were named all-conference.
Maguire also spent the 2022 season as a defensive line coach in the USFL with the Philadelphia Stars.
His path crossed with head coach Michael Toerper at the College of the Holy Cross where he was an offensive quality control coach, assistant wide receivers coach and assistant offensive line coach from 2020-22. During that time, the Crusaders made two appearances in the FCS playoffs and won two Patriot League titles.
Before his appointment at Holy Cross, Maguire coached for five seasons (2015-20) at the University of Northern Colorado in various roles. He would be selected to attend the NFL Leadership Academy in 2019.
Maguire got his start in coaching as a student at the University of Montana after an injury kept him off the field in 2012. He then was a graduate assistant at Langston University in 2013 and coached one year at Montana Tech in 2014.
Maguire played wide receiver at Montana where he earned a bachelor's degree in sociology with a concentration in criminology in 2013. He then earned his master's in sports coaching from Northern Colorado in 2016.
