Rob Neviaser begins his second season at Rhode Island and his first as the defensive coordinator. In 2008, Neviaser served as the defensive Line coach. Neviaser came to Kingston following five seasons working on the University of Delaware coaching staff. In his four seasons with head coach K.C. Keeler, the Blue Hens posted a combined record of 41-22, advanced to the NCAA I-AA playoffs twice, and captured consecutive Atlantic 10 conference titles in 2003 and 2004. Nevaiser played a big part in helping UD capture the 2003 NCAA I-AA national title. That season, the Blue Hens posted 41 sacks and 116 tackles for loss, and led the A-10 in both rushing defense (114.4 - 17th in I-AA) and scoring defense (15.4 ppg - fifth in I-AA). In 2004, Delaware captured its second-straight Atlantic 10 Conference title and advanced to the NCAA I-AA quarterfinals. The Blue Hens ranked second in the Atlantic 10 in total defense (315.7) and was third in both rushing defense (115.4) and scoring defense (23.1). The 2005 squad, meanwhile, ranked fourth in the league with 30 sacks and was third in the league in rushing defense, allowing 119.6 yards per game to rank 20th in NCAA I-AA. Prior to his arrival at Delaware, Neviaser spent five seasons as defensive line coach and video coordinator at Yale University under head coach Jack Siedlecki. The Bulldogs posted a five-year record of 26-23 and won the Ivy League title in 1999 with a 9-1 record. Yale also posted marks of 7-3 in 2000 and 6-4 in 1998. Neviaser began his coaching career in 1993 at King's College in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. under head coach Rich Mannello, where he worked with the inside linebackers. He moved on to Harvard, where he served one season as assistant offensive line coach under Tim Murphy in 1994. He then spent two seasons as graduate assistant offensive line coach under head coach Dan Henning at Boston College in 1995-96 before heading to Yale. While at Yale, Neviaser worked with the defensive ends and defensive tackles and coordinated all aspects of video. Among the player he coached at Yale was two-time All-Ivy League defensive end Jeff Hockenbrock. A native of Darnestown, Md. where he was a standout lineman at Landon High School, Neviaser moved on to Division III power Williams College, where he played offensive line and inside linebacker. During his career, Williams posted a four-year record of 28-3-2 under head coach Richard Farley. He earned his degree in political science from Williams in 1993. updated: 4/20/09 |
