First preview of the year for our first 2016 opponent: UMaine. Spring game still to come May 7:
UMaine gets fresh start under Harasymiak - The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram
ORONO — It’s Joe Harasymiak’s office now but the old wooden chair is still there, the one he was sitting in when his whole life changed at the tender age of 29, sharing a grieved minute of silence with his mentor, who was about to do him the biggest favor of his football coaching career.
It was late in the afternoon of Nov. 23, 2015, a long Monday of soul-searching for a UMaine coaching staff that had just endured a 3-8 season ending with a fourth consecutive loss, 22-6 at New Hampshire. Jack Cosgrove, the head coach for 23 seasons who had hired Harasymiak and promoted him twice, texted his defensive coordinator to see if he was still in the building.
Harasymiak felt a moment of dread, then followed Cosgrove down the hall to his office, plopped into the chair just inside the door and was dumbfounded by what he heard.
“I want you to go home, sit down with your wife (Brittany), talk to her and find out what she thinks about you being the next head coach of UMaine football,” Cosgrove told him.
