Tom Gilmore is in his ninth season as the head foot-ball coach at the College of the Holy Cross in 2012. The Crusaders stand 42-25 overall (26-10 in the Patriot League) during the last six seasons under Gilmore’s leadership, good for the most total victo-ries in the conference during that time frame. In addition, Holy Cross is one of only 12 teams in the football champi-onship subdivision to post a

winning record in each of the last seven years. Gilmore has also coached three-time Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year and three-time Walter Payton Award finalist Dominic Randolph, and owns a career record of 51-38 during his time at Holy Cross. During the 2011 season, Gilmore’s squad posted an overall record of 6-5 and a 4-2 mark in the Patriot League. The Crusad-ers led the conference in passing defense (195.2 yards/game), while standing second in total offense (400.9 yards/game), passing offense (268.0 yards/game), pass efficiency (129.4 rating), pass efficiency defense (115.7 rating) and net punting (35.7 yards/punt). Holy Cross placed 12 players on the All-Pa-triot League team, with five of them earning first team honors. In 2010, Gilmore led the Crusaders to an overall record of 6-5, including a 4-2 mark against Patriot League foes. As a team, Holy Cross led the league in kickoff returns (24.1 yards/return) and punt returns (15.9 yards/return), while standing third in scoring offense (22.6), passing offense (224.0 yards/game) and net punting (34.3 yards/punt). Eleven different Crusaders earned All-Patriot League honors at the conclusion of the season, including six first team selections. During the 2009 campaign, Gilmore led Holy Cross to its first Patriot League championship since 1991, with

an overall mark of 9-3 and a 5-1 record in conference play. The Crusaders also advanced to the NCAA Playoffs for only the second time in school history, suffering a narrow 38-28 road loss to eventual national champion Villanova in the first round. Gilmore’s 2009 team led the Patriot League in scor-ing offense (32.2 points/game), net punting (35.0 yards/punt) and punt returns (9.5 yards/return), while ranking fourth in the nation in passing offense (314.9 yards/game) and sixth in total offense (433.6 yards/game). As the conclusion of the 2009 campaign, two of Gilm-ore’s players were named All-Americans, while the Crusad-ers totaled 15 All-Patriot League selections and four spots on the All-New England team. In addition, he was named the Pa-triot League Coach of the Year and the New England Coach of the Year, and was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award and the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year award. In 2008, Gilmore’s Crusaders posted an overall record of 7-4 and finished second in the Patriot League with a 5-1 conference record. Holy Cross led the league in scoring of-fense (34.4 points/game), passing offense (348.9 yards/game) and total offense (455.4 yards/game), while ranking first in the nation in first downs (25.9 first downs/game). In 2008, Gilmore had 11 players named All-Patriot League and four players selected All-New England.

The Crusaders led the conference in total of-fense (463.4 yards/game), scoring offense (35.9 points/game), passing offense (335.2 yards/game), turnover margin (+1.0 turnovers/game) and pass efficiency (140.0 rating), while standing second in pass defense (183.8 yards/game) and pass efficiency defense (117.0 rating). Seven of Gilmore’s play-ers earned All-Conference honors in 2007, with wide receiver Ryan Maher being selected a first team All-American. In 2006, Gilmore was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year, after his squad posted an overall record of 7-4, while finishing just a game out of first place in the confer-ence at 4-2. The Crusaders nearly tied for the league title, as they suffered a one-point loss at Colgate in the season finale. Holy Cross also led the Patriot League in several statistical

categories: total offense (384.4 yards per game), passing of-fense (271.5 yards per game), pass efficiency defense (108.4 rating), first downs (239) and third down conversions (46.3 percent). In addition, seven of Gilmore’s players earned All-League honors.

He also spent time as an assistant coach at Dart-mouth (1992-1999), Pennsylvania (1986; 1990-1991) and Columbia (1987-1989). A 1986 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was an Academic All-American, Gilmore and his wife, Joan, have two children (Sarah and John).
