Greg Harris will assume defensive coordinator duties in 2013 while continuing his assistant coach position responsibilities at outside linebacker. Harris is entering his seventh year on the VMI staff and took on his new duties as defensive coordinator in February, 2013.  

One of two VMI alumni on the current football coaching staff, Harris during his tenure helped coach former VMI standout Tommy Lloyd to first-team all-conference and second-team all-VaSID honors following the 2007 season.

A class of 1996 graduate of VMI with a B.A. in Business and Economics, Harris was a four-year letterman and three-year starter with the Keydets and had the reputation as one of the team's best blockers in Coach Bill Stewart's two-tight end alignment that helped running back Thomas Haskins set a new Division I-AA career rushing mark.

As a receiver, Harris was equally effective, as he caught 47 passes for 431 yards and three touchdowns during his Keydet career.  He served as a team captain for the 1996 season and was a Dean's List Student.

After graduation, Harris went into private business for six years, earning a Mark of Excellence Award while working for Hughes Supply, Inc.

Harris and his wife, the former Lorrie Clark, have two children, a son, Dakota, and a daughter, Madelyn.
