Coach of longtime New Jersey power joins Scarlet Knights offense
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers football head coach Greg Schiano announced that Augie Hoffmann has joined his staff. Hoffmann, who has led New Jersey power St. Joseph Regional the past six seasons, will serve in a role on offense.
"Augie is one of the most respected coaches in New Jersey," said Schiano. "As a leader of one of the top programs in the state, he has a proven track record of developing elite talent both on and off the field. Augie is a tireless worker and his reputation among the players and coaches in our state speaks for itself. We look forward to welcoming Augie and his family to Rutgers."
Hoffmann took over the St. Joseph program in 2014, following the retirement of legendary head coach Tony Karcich. In his six seasons as head coach, Hoffmann guided the Green Knights to a 50-19 record, including four state championship game appearances. He captured two state titles during his tenure at St. Joseph.
The Green Knights claimed its first title under Hoffmann, closing out the 2016 season with a 9-2 record and victory over DePaul Catholic in the Non-Public Group 3 championship. In 2018, St. Joseph finished the season with a 10-2 record, earning a shutout against Bergen Catholic to win the Non-Public Group 4 state title.
Hoffmann has coached countless Division I scholarship athletes during his time leading the Green Knights program, including current Scarlet Knight tight end Matt Alaimo.
A graduate of St. Joseph Regional, Hoffmann was named the 15th-best offensive lineman in the nation by SuperPrep and consensus first team all-state selection. He went on to a standout career at Boston College where he was a four-year letterwinner and First Team All-Big East guard in 2003. Hoffmann served as team captain as a senior and earned CoSIDA Academic All-District I honors in 2003 and Big East All-Academic Football team accolades.
Hoffmann spent the 2006 season with the NFL New Orleans Saints.
