Brian White

Brian White comes to Amherst as an offensive analyst for the Minutemen after spending two seasons as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator at Delaware State. 

While at Delaware State, White developed a run game for the 2024 season that aided running back Jaden Sutton to the first 1,000-yard season for the program since 2006. He also coordinated staff academic monitoring and study hall programs, which helped raise the team’s GPA and APR score.  

Prior to Delaware State, White was a member of the football staff at Hampton for five seasons. Upon arrival with the Pirates, he was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, before being named the recruiting coordinator and the offensive associate head coach. He guided the football program through its transition from the MEAC to the Big South Conference in 2018, and then the move into the Colonial Athletic Association in 2022.  

In 2021, White coached an offensive line unit that sat atop the Big South’s total offense. During the 2019 season, running back Shai McKenzie became Hampton’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2012, while White saw new single season school records for pass completions, touchdown passes, receiving touchdowns and pass receptions. The Pirates had an NCAA Statistical Championship for individual receiving touchdowns and an offense that increased production in points per game from 21.5 in 2017 to 30.9 in 2018. Hampton racked up over 418 yards per game and nearly 35 points per contest, including three 50-point outings in 2018. The 428 yards were the most in a season by team in at least 15 years. 

White previously spent seven years at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with the final six seasons being the offensive coordinator. He led Rose-Hulman's offense to more than 50 school records since 2014, including three performances of 70 or more points in a game. The team recorded back-to-back eight-win seasons in 2015 and 2016, while making the team’s first trip to the NCAA Division III Playoffs in 2016.  

He also served as the offensive line coach at Rose-Hulman, as the unit achieved numerous awards over White’s three years. Two players were both named First Team All-League members and to the D3Football.com All-North region squad in 2016, while one student-athlete was a First Team All-Conference selection in 2015. In 2014, three members were Second Team All-League honorees, including three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American Nick Buchta.  

In 2013, the offensive line had two First Team All-Conference selections, one All-North Region honoree and a First Team All-Conference offensive lineman in both 2012 and 2011. 

White joined the Rose-Hulman coaching staff after serving roles at Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Maryland. At Cincinnati, he helped lead the Big East Conference in almost every offensive category in 2010. The Bearcats had the league’s top passing offense and produce the school’s first 1,000-yard rusher since 2004. Additionally, five Bearcats received all conference honors on the offensive side of the ball. 

In 2009, while at Notre Dame, White assisted on an offensive staff that produced the eighth-rated offense in the nation, averaging 451.75 yards per game, and the winner of the 2009 Biletnikoff Award.  

During the 2009 season at Maryland, he filled the role of special teams and tight ends coach in preparation for the Humanitarian Bowl. White’s special teams unit featured a 99-yard kickoff return for touchdown, setting a bowl record, and helped Maryland defeat Nevada, 42-35. White also served on Maryland’s staff that made appearances in the 2006 Champs Sports Bowl, beating Purdue 24-7, and the 2007 Emerald Bowl.  

Prior to his stint at Maryland, White spent two seasons with the postgraduate football program at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia, serving as the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator. During his tenure at Hargrave, White tutored two future NFL offensive linemen, Branden Alberts (Kansas City Chiefs) and Jared Gaither (Baltimore Ravens). 

White, a native of Oakland, New Jersey, earned his bachelor’s in history from Juniata College in 2004 and his master’s degree in special education from Maryland in 2008.
