Hess is Villanova’s Special Assistant to the Head Coach. He brings a long track record of success with him, most recently serving as the head men’s soccer coach at Drexel University from 2010-19.

            “To have a head coach of nearly two decades working alongside our staff in a counseling role is an unbelievable opportunity for our staff to grow as educators,” said Carlin. “Doug’s understanding of college soccer as well as his passion for the game make him a great resource for Villanova Soccer. Most importantly, to have a close personal friend around on a daily basis is a nice bonus for me.”
