Tim Lenahan returning home to New Jersey for final regular season game as Northwestern head coach

After two decades coaching in Chicago, Tim Lenahan is returning home to New Jersey to coach his last regular season game at Northwestern on what promises to be an emotional Easter Sunday for the retiring coach.

The self-described “IT guy from New Jersey” is retiring after his 20th season in the Big 10 and will get a send-off from plenty of friends and family mixed in with the home Rutgers crowd.

“I have a full group that will be there and obviously a big big family with nieces and nephews,” Lenahan said in a phone interview earlier this week.
