Greg Gigantino begins his second year as an
assistant coach at Bryant University. After coaching the
team's linebackers in 2006, Gigantino was promoted to Defensive
Coordinator this past spring by Coach Fine and will continue to
oversee the Bulldogs' linebackers this fall.
The Bulldog defense allowed just 120 yards
rushing and 139 yards passing per game en route to capturing the
school's first-ever share of the Northeast-10 Conference
Championship and berth in the NCAA playoffs.
Gigantino brings 30 years of coaching experience
to the Bryant football coaching staff, joining the Bulldogs in
August of 2006 from Hofstra University where he served as the
Associate Head Coach / Defensive Coordinator from 1990 to 1997 and
2001 to 2005.
While at Hofstra, the Pride qualified for
four Division I-AA playoffs (1990, 1995, 1997, and 2001) and earned
a top-10 national ranking during the 2001 season.
Prior to arriving at Hofstra, Gigantino was an
assistant coach/defensive coordinator at Cornell University from
1998-2000.
During his career, Gigantino has coached at
Lehigh University (1989), Davidson College (1985-88), Iona College
(1984-85), Rutgers (1978-84), and Indiana, Pa. (1977-78). He
is a 1977 graduate of Wagner College.
Gigantino has three children: Sarah (25) who
works for the Northeastern University football team; Charles
(23) who is in the U.S. Navy stationed in Japan; and Laura (21) who
will be a senior at the University of Hawaii.
