Dartmouth football coach Eugene F. "Buddy" Teevens, who introduced innovative methods to make the sport safer, died Tuesday as a result of complications from injuries sustained in a March bicycle crash. He was 66.
Teevens, Dartmouth's all-time winningest coach, had two stints as head coach at his alma mater, going 117-101-2 with five Ivy League championships.
In March, he was struck by a truck while riding his bicycle in Florida. He sustained spinal cord injuries, and his right leg had to be amputated.
Dartmouth announced in May that assistant Sammy McCorkle would serve as interim coach during the 2023 season.
