Brother of Jason. John graduated from Princeton in 1988.
Most recently the OC at Richmond. Has bounced around the college and NFL game for most of his career, but has only one year of experience coaching at the FCS level. This is his first head job.

I could have sworn both Garretts played in the infamous Princeton game in '88....maybe he graduated in Dec?
Interesting hire....looks like the Pards had a pretty decent collection to choose from.

My foggy recollection was the Garretts were twin brothers and Jason was the QB of the great win by the Crusaders on a kickoff return as time expired (which I and many posters were at that game).

Joel Lamb was supposedly a finalist for the Lafayette job....someone I wouldn't mind seeing in the hunt when we go through this process next year.

John's last season at Princeton was 1967. However there was a third brother, Judd, who played in 1988. None of them were twins. A couple of the Garrett kids were born near Lewisburg. Jim Garrett was the coach of nearby Susquehanna until being fired for assaulting a player.

Garrett started at Princeton, went to Columbia when his dad got that coaching job; then back to Princeton when dad resigned/got fired. Don't think any of the Garretts ever played for CU.
Ironically, later in the season of HC's great ko return, the 2 remaining Garretts lost to Columbia, a game that broke CU's 44 game losing streak.

tim- "HC's great kickoff return" was in 1960 when Tom "The Brookline Blur" Hennessey '63 ran back the initial kickoff for a TD in Harvard Stadium the first time he touched the ball as a Varsity player. He was a tremendous tailback, track star and Patriots DB, one of the greatest all around athletes I ever saw. Now sadly RIP.

Let me get this straight. A TD ko return in a game HC lost somehow trumps a ko return in a game HC won. Other than Tommy Hennessey was in a different class as a ballplayer than Darrin Cromwell/Tim Donovan, I fail to see your reasoning.
Unless the guide is wrong sez Hahvahd beat HC in 1960, 13-6.

Not just won, won as the game clock expired halfway into the play. A back and forth affair as HC had the lead, Princeton got the lead back scoring with about 3 seconds left. HC had to return the kickoff for a TD to win - all or nothing. In this case, it was all.
