James Rosenbury - Kenyon College HC

The Coach Cahill Show

Join Coach Cahill and Kenyon College Head coach James Rosenbury as they discuss having tough conversations, helping freshman through their transition and much more! 2020 was coach James Rosenbury's second at Kenyon. A year ago, he helped put the Lords on the rebound with a few wins including a come-from-behind 32-31 double-overtime victory in the season opener at The Catholic University of America. Prior to coming to Gambier, he worked NCAA Division III Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Rosenbury tackled many duties at Macalester. Most recently, he served as the Scots' offensive line coach, special teams coordinator and director of both football operations and recruiting. In previous seasons, he was the program's running backs and tight ends coach. While at Macalester, Rosenbury helped move the Scots from a 4-6 record in 2015 to a 7-3 record in 2016. Overall, the program was 21-19 in his four seasons there. A 2008 graduate of Case Western Reserve University, Rosenbury remained on campus and served as an assistant coach, working with offensive backs for three seasons. He contributed to a 31-3 overall record, was part of three University Athletic Association (UAA) Coaching Staff of the Year awards and helped steer the Spartans to three NCAA playoff appearances. Rosenbury moved on to work for one season at Grinnell College, where he coached running backs and saw the team move from a 2-8 record to a 6-4 mark. He then spent two years at University of Redlands, earning a master's degree in higher education and serving as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs, who logged a combined 14-5 record and made an appearance in the 2011 NCAA Division III playoffs. Prior to making the move to Macalester, Rosenbury returned to Case in 2013 as an assistant coach for two more seasons. In that time, he worked with offensive backs, special teams and served as assistant recruiting coordinator. He coached four all-conference backs, as well as the UAA Special Teams Player of the Year. "During my college coaching career, I've had the privilege of working at some of the best Division III high-academic research universities and liberal arts colleges. I love student-athletes who want to be challenged in the classroom, as well as on the field," Rosenbury said. "I like to think of myself as energetic and enthusiastic. I am a detailed oriented coach and believe in setting clear expectations and holding people accountable," Rosenbury added. "At the same time, I'm positive and do my best to compliment before I criticize. Football is a game and games are supposed to be fun. I see my job as providing an amazing experience and creating an environment where student-athletes can compete and pursue their passions both on the football field and in their academic lives." During his playing days, Rosenbury was a running back at Case. He rushed for 1,712 yards and nine touchdowns during his career and was a two-time All-UAA selection. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachcahillshow/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachcahillshow/support
