He embodies the three qualities I value most in a leader – work ethic, passion and being a great teammate. I’m confident he will elevate our program and make an immediate impact on our student-athletes both on and off the course.”
“I’m incredibly honored and excited to return to my alma mater and lead the DePaul golf program,” said Jamison. “This university holds a special place in my heart and I’m deeply grateful to DeWayne Peevy, Peter Tombasco and the search committee for their belief in me and this opportunity. After my time as a caddie, I’m thrilled to bring that experience back into coaching and help grow a program I care so deeply about. I can’t wait to get started and build something special with our student-athletes and this wonderful university.”Jamison previously served three seasons as head coach at Florida Atlantic. Prior to FAU, Jamison spent two seasons at Stanford, helping the Cardinal reach back-to-back NCAA Men’s Golf Championship Finals. Jamison’s first head coaching role came at Nova Southeastern, where he led the program to the 2015 NCAA Division II National Championship. He was named the 2015 Division II Dave Williams National Coach of the Year.
He began his coaching career as an assistant at Nova Southeastern before returning to DePaul for two seasons as an assistant coach, helping the Blue Demons achieve their highest Big East Conference finish at the time in 2012.
