Andrew Aurich

Andrew Aurich, who is the fifth person to lead the Crimson since Ivy League play began in football in 1956, begins his second season in 2025 as The Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football.

In Year 1 at the helm of the program, Aurich led Harvard to its second straight Ivy League title after a 2024 campaign that saw it finish 8-2 and 5-2 in conference play. At one point of the season, the Crimson won seven straight games and entered both major top-25 polls, rising to as high as No. 17 in the Stats Perform rankings before finishing 2024 at No. 25. Under Aurich's leadership, wide receiver Cooper Barkate and safety Ty Bartrum earned a trip to New York City as finalists for the Asa S. Bushnell Cup, which recognizes the Ivy League Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year. The duo was also part of the Crimson's 17 all-Ivy League honorees, a figure that led the Ancient Eight, with Barkate later earning All-America accolades from five different media outlets.
