Hall of Fame
Coach James Miceli jumped into the college ranks as a head coach when he accepted the task of rebuilding the struggling program at Ramapo College. He was named head coach on February 8, 1988, inheriting a team that was caught in a 1-28-1 losing streak. When only 12 players showed up at his first team meeting, Miceli knew he had to hit the ground recruiting top players from New Jersey, as well as some fine out-of-state talent.
Miceli orchestrated an incredible turnaround, compiling a 33-9 record in four years. His teams were nationally ranked in three of his four years at Ramapo and in 1990, his team won the ECAC South Championship. He saw three players achieve All-America status, seven earn all-ECAC honors and 18 receive first-team all-conference recognition. Miceli was named the NJAC coach of the year in 1989.
Miceli is a 1979 graduate from Southern Connecticut State University where he received a degree in physical education, recreation and general science.
Miceli is in his second season at Georgetown University. He serves as the Hoyas offensive coordinator and tutors the team’s quarterbacks. In ten years of coaching, Miceli has compiled a 54-37 overall record.
He and his wife Mariann have three daughters: Victoria (21), Alexandra (18) and Elizabeth (12).
