Gleeson coordinated a 2017 Princeton offense that ranked second in the FCS in passing offense, and fourth in both total and scoring offense.
In 2018, he coordinated an offense that set an Ivy League record with 470 points. Princeton ranked second in the FCS in scoring and third in total offense, and it scored at least 40 points in eight of 10 games. For the first time in Ivy League history, Princeton had both finalists for the Offensive Player of the Year award, and quarterback John Lovett became only the fifth multiple-time Bushnell Cup winner in Ivy history.
As a coordinator, 18 members of the 2017 and 2018 Princeton offenses earned All-Ivy League honors, including first-team honors for Kanoff, WR Jesper Horsted (twice), and OL Mitchell Sweigart. Horsted ended his career with several single-season and career receiving records, while Sweigart became Princeton's first lineman to earn multiple first-team All-Ivy honors since 2000-01.
Since Gleeson's arrival, the Princeton offense has averaged 36.9 points per game, the highest output for a Tiger offense over a six-year stretch in program history. Princeton broke the Ivy League records for both scoring offense (43.7 points per game) and total offense (511.6 yards per game) during its historic 2013 Ivy League championship season; the Tigers shattered both totals last year, including an Ivy-record 47.0 points per game output.
Prior to moving to offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, Gleeson served as the running backs coach. He coached multiple All-Ivy League running backs, including two-time honoree Joe Rhattigan. While at Williams College, playing under Perry, Gleeson was the highest-rated passer in the NESCAC in 2005, minimum 100 attempts, with a rating of 163.6. His team finished 8-0 on the year in 2006, and was part of a two-quarterback system that threw for more than 4,000 yards over a two seasons.
To me this would be a great hire for Diaz and this offense because now we would match what we do on defense. Football is a thinking mans game and having a coach that can game plan and be creative would be invaluable. He won't cost us much and having a young innovator would be just what we need to take advantage of the talent we have here in Miami. If our offense is exciting then we should have no problem keeping guys home.
