Former Princeton football player, coach Mike Daniels takes coaching job at Georgia Tech

Former Princeton High School football standout and head coach Mike Daniels is on the move.

Daniels, who helped the University at Buffalo rank among the nation’s top-30 rushing offenses in 2021, has been named the new running backs coach at Georgia Tech, head coach Geoff Collins announced on Monday.

Daniels worked at Buffalo this past season after a whirlwind of job movement earlier in 2021.

Daniels, 36, had resigned as Princeton head football coach after the 2020 season. On Feb. 23, he accepted a recruiting position with the Army football program.

On March 25, Daniels departed West Point taking the running backs job at Akron before heading to Buffalo for a second stint with the Bulls.
