Long-time Harvard coach Joe Restic passed away recently after a long illness. Restic (coach without cap in photo) won 117 games over a 23-year run at Harvard, where he won or shared five Ivy League titles. An offensive innovator, Restic shook up the Ivy with his multi-faceted offense, first perfected in the CFL, when he became head coach in Cambridge in 1971. Restic almost became a household name in 1981 when he was up for the Notre Dame head coaching job and one wonders what might have happened if he had beaten out Gerry Faust for the job.
