Wilmington College head football coach Stacey Hairston has announced the addition of Chris Harris to his staff for upcoming football season.

"I am very fortunate to be able to add someone like Chris Harris to our coaching staff," said Hairston. "Chris brings with him a wealth of offensive line experience, both as a player and as a coach. The offensive line is a special group that needs someone who knows and understands the specific techniques that is required to be successful at that position. Chris also has been a recruiting coordinator and spent most of the 2014 season as the interim head coach at Lawrence University. Besides coaching the offensive line, Chris will also add the title of Recruiting Coordinator. His professional demeanor and knowledge will have an immediate impact to our football program."

Harris brings more than 13 years of college coaching experience to Wilmington, and will serve as the team's Offensive Line Coach and Recruiting Coordinator. He comes to Wilmington from Lawrence University, where served as the team's interim head coach for the final nine games of the 2014 season, as well as the team's recruiting coordinator and offensive line coach.

Prior to Lawrence, Harris spent three seasons at Manchester College (IN) as the Offensive Line Coach and Director of Football Operations. He gained experience with play calling, serving as the junior varsity offensive coordinator.

Other than a one-year stint at Muhlenberg to start his career, Harris has always served as a collegiate offensive line coach; Beloit (2008-10), Minot State University (2007-08), Iowa Wesleyan (2004-07) and Ellsworth Community College (2001-04).
