Delaware Valley University head football coach Duke Greco announced his resignation from the university on Wednesday morning after accepting the same position at Division II West Chester University.

Greco was named the head coach of his alma mater before the 2014 season after serving as an assistant coach since 2003. He was named the offensive coordinator in 2006, a role he continued to fill throughout his stint as head coach.

“Saying goodbye to DelVal is not an easy thing to do for me or my family, but I am excited for the next opportunity and this next stage of life,” said Greco.

“I am overcome with gratitude for DelVal and that gratitude extends from the players, the coaches, the alumni, the friends of the program and the staff all the way up to the administration. DelVal is a place that I’ve called home since I started here as a freshman over 20 years ago and I’m thankful for everything the university has afforded me and for all the support everyone has showed the program.”

Greco has been a key cog in the program’s turnaround that began in 2003 and saw the Aggies go from last place in the Middle Atlantic Conference to conference champions and a perennial NCAA Playoff team for two decades.

Since 2016, DelVal football has not lost a conference game. The historic win-streak is the longest of its kind in the history of the MAC and currently sits at 53 wins in a row. Greco finishes his stint as the program’s all-time winningest coach.

The move to West Chester will be Greco’s second head coach position and his first crack at the Division II ranks.

“We cannot thank Duke enough for 10 years of service to Delaware Valley University, leading our football team to success,” said Benjamin Rusilosk, president of DelVal.

Greco has been instrumental in developing the players on and off the field. He has coached eight student athletes to MAC Player of the Year honors and 143 all-conference honorees.

Academically, over 180student-athletess earned a spot on the MAC Academic Honor Roll during Greco’s tenure.

Delaware Valley will begin a national search for its new head football coach immediately.
