Paul McCord

McCord spent six years coaching at his alma mater, Western Maryland, before leaving for Hofstra University, where he spent the 2001 season as special teams coordinator. Following his marriage to WMC's field hockey coach, Mindy Manolovich, he returned to serve as a volunteer assistant for the 2002 season.

As a coach, McCord was the architect of one of Division III's top special teams units, which was a key factor in the resurgence of the WMC program. Under his guidance, the 1997 Green Terror boasted the top kick return (29.44 yards/return) and punt return (717 yards) units in the NCAA Division III, en route to its first ever conference championship, as well its first NCAA playoff berth (the Green Terror has since won five more championships, four with McCord on the staff). Nearly every college special teams record was set during McCord's tenure.

McCord, a 1993 graduate, was an all-Conference punter in 1991 and 1993. He topped the league, and finished 17th in NCAA (Division III), in punting average in each of those seasons. McCord still holds the school mark for punting average in a game (47.6 yards, 5 punts for 238 yards), which has stood since the 1991 season.

	As a former NFL player myself, and a father of two sons who earned D-1 football scholarships as kickers, I wanted to compliment Tommy on an outstanding teaching video. It is a very strong tape that is focused on instruction as opposed to the living testimonials that other former players or coaches have put out. Very nice work!
