NEWARK, Del. – Delaware football head coach Ryan Carty has added four members to his coaching staff. Blue Hen alums Siddiq Haynes and Andrew Pierce, along with former Sam Houston coaches Terence Archer and Chris Rogers have joined the football program.
Terence Archer, Tight Ends and Assistant Head Coach
Terence Archer makes his return to the east coast after serving the 2021 season as the wide receivers coach and pass-game coordinator at Sam Houston, where he played an instrumental part in the Bearkats winning the 2020-21 national championship. He arrived at Sam Houston in February of 2014, serving as the assistant head coach from January 2017 to March 2020. Archer previously served as the wide receivers coach at Monmouth University from April 2008 to February 2014. Archer started his coaching career at La Salle University, where he worked from April 2005 to January 2008. While with La Salle, Archer coached the running backs (2005), linebackers (2006-08), and coordinated all aspects of special teams during his stint. Archer was a four-year linebacker at Monmouth University, where he graduated in 2001.
"Terence is a proven winner and his past performance as a position coach speaks for itself. He's coached multiple conference record holders and All-Americans. His knowledge of offensive football, his tri-state background, and his experience at the highest levels of the FCS makes him the perfect hire at UD." - Ryan Carty, Head Football Coach

Siddiq Haynes, Defensive Line Coach
A 2011 University of Delaware alum and member of the 2007 and 2010 Blue Hen squads that advanced to the national championship games, Siddiq Haynes joins the UD football staff as the defensive line coach. Haynes arrives at UD after spending the 2021 season as a defensive analyst at UTSA, where he helped the Roadrunners win the 2021 Conference USA title with a school-record 11 wins in a row en route to a 12-1 overall record. Haynes worked with Carty and served as the defensive line coach at Sam Houston from February 2017 to May 2021, including helping the Bearkats win the 2020-21 national championship and coaching second round NFL Draft pick and four-time All-American PJ Hall. While competing for UD, Haynes helped the Blue Hens rank No. 1 in the NCAA in scoring defense during his final season. He was also honored as the first team captain for the prestigious Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
"It's always awesome to be able to bring a friend back home. Siddiq is an unbelievable defensive line coach, a tireless recruiter, and an even better person. But most importantly, he's a Blue Hen. His love for The University of Delaware is unmatched, and it will show with the enthusiasm he'll bring to the players on this team each day." - Ryan Carty, Head Football Coach
"We are glad to welcome Siddiq back home. I love the energy he brings for the game and his excitement to coach the big guys upfront. He has a passion for what he does and it's contagious." – Manny Rojas, Defensive Coordinator

He competed professionally in the Indoor Football League (IFL) from 2015-17.
"I set out to hire coaches who love UD football, can't wait to come to the office every day and have the desire to affect young men in a positive way. Andrew fits the criteria perfectly. An ex-standout student-athlete as a Blue Hen, he has worked his way into this role and will do an amazing job directing his running backs to follow in his footsteps." - Ryan Carty, Head Football Coach

Chris Rogers, Offensive Line Coach and Run Game Coordinator
Chris Rogers comes to Delaware after spending the last five seasons at 2020-21 national champion Sam Houston where he served as the offensive line coach for the last two seasons.

He started his coaching career as an undergraduate offensive line assistant in 2013 with the Bearkats, where he was a first-team all-conference offensive lineman and team captain in 2012.
Chris is one of the best offensive line coaches I've been around. His energy and acumen are second to none. He's shown the ability to evaluate great players, connect with them, and most importantly, get the most out of their talent. - Ryan Carty, Head Football Coach
