Steve Stetson

Stephen Stetson (born January 24, 1951) is an American golf coach and former football player and coach. He is the current head men's and women's golf coach at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. Stetson served as the head football coach at Hamilton from 1982 to 1984 and again from 2006 to 2011. He was also the head football coach at Boston University from 1985 to 1987 and Hartwick College from 1992 to 2001, compiling a career college football coaching record of 89–111–2. Stetson was a University of New Hampshire assistant football coach from 2002 to 2005.

Stetson grew up in Laconia, New Hampshire and was a three-sport standout at Laconia High School. He became an All-Ivy League quarterback at Dartmouth College during his senior season in 1972. In his three-year varsity career, the Big Green went 24–2–1 with three straight Ivy League championships.

College career Stetson played for Dartmouth College. In 1969, he was awarded the Earl Hamilton Freshman Award by the coaching staff. In 1971, in his first start, he helped Dartmouth clinch a share of the Ivy League title by beating Cornell 24–14. In his senior year, he won several weekly citations due to his impressive performance against Princeton, in which he scored three touchdowns and completed eight of 17 passes for 125 yards. He set a Dartmouth single-season pass-yardage record (1159 yards), breaking the 1079 set by Mickey Beard in 1966. He was an all-Ivy selection that year. He graduated from Dartmouth with a degree in sociology in 1973.

Coaching career Hamilton Stetson first coached the Hamilton Continentals football team from 1982 to 1984. In 1983, he hired Sean McDonnell to be one of his assistant coaches. In 1984, they went 6–1–1. This was Hamilton's first winning record since 1967. Boston finished the season 3–8.

Hartwick After his job at Boston ended, Stetson became a health-insurance salesman. When he saw in the newspapers that Hartwick College would revive its football program, he applied for the job in July 1991 and got accepted. He had a record of 58–38–1 in his time there, setting the program record for most career wins. Carr would break that record in 2015.

New Hampshire Stetson then joined the coaching staff of Sean McDonnell, his former assistant coach, now head coach at the University of New Hampshire. He stepped down as Hamilton's men's football head coach the following year. He was replaced by Andrew Cohen.

In 2012, Stetson became the new head coach of Hamilton's men's and women's golf teams. He had previous experience as an interim head coach for Hamilton's men's golf team earlier in the year.
