Providence College has hired Anthony Randall as its next head coach. Randall most recently spent time as the head coach at Marist University and fills the position previously held by John O’Neill who announced his retirement in March.

I am especially excited for the opportunity to build upon the incredible legacy that John O’Neill has established throughout his distinguished career. His impact on the program, its student-athletes and the broader Providence community has been extraordinary, and I have tremendous respect for all that he has accomplished. I look forward to learning from the strong foundation he has created and working with our student-athletes and staff to continue moving the program forward.”…
