Sorkin has a strong Ivy League reputation as a recruiter, according a Murphy. In addition, he is a native Bostonian.

The lone holdover form the staff of former Head Coach Joe Restic is Vince Arduini, who will be the recruiting coordinator and running back coach.

"Continuity is helpful," Murphy said. "He'll help us get adjusted to the intricacies of Harvard University."

"[Arduini] is honest, tough, and demands a lot form his players," Kapetan said.

His main responsibility will be preparing the kicking game schemes for the special teams units.

Murphy emphasized the fact that the titles are really just a formality and that all the coaches will have input into each aspect of the game.

His goal was to form a brain trust of experienced, bright football minds to plan every facet of strategy.

The players were impressed with the enthusiasm and dedication of the new staff.

"Everyone is really ready to rally around him [Murphy] and his staff," Kapetan said. "I can't tell you how excited everyone is."
