After spending six years as head coach at Johns Hopkins, Josh Loeffler accepted an assistant coaching position with the Cincinnati Bearcats in recent days!
During his time at Johns Hopkins, Loeffler became the second winningest coach in school history and helped secure back to back conference championships.
Even though assistant coach Mike Roberts won’t return next season, the Bearcats coaching staff should continue to improve with the addition of Loeffler.
Loeffler began his coaching career at Hamilton College in 2003 before joining Lafayette College and Loyola University as an assistant coach last decade.
