Bill McCarthy brings veteran Holy Cross edge to the offensive line room
McCarthy is a Holy Cross alumnus and longtime Crusaders staff member who knows the program’s culture from the inside, giving him a clear fit for teams that value technique, accountability, and continuity in the trenches. As a former Holy Cross offensive lineman and long snapper, he has firsthand credibility with linemen and special-teams players, and his coaching profile suggests a detail-oriented teacher rather than a splashy personality hire. The key differentiator is trust: he fits cleanly for a program that wants a steady, culture-aligned OL coach who can develop fundamentals and help maintain a physical identity.
