“We are confident and take comfort in the fact that he passed away knowing how much he was loved and admired.”

Buddy Teevens’ Cause of Death after Injury

Buddy Teevens’ cause of death at 79 is disclosed as injuries he sustained during a bicycle accident in March, the Ivy League university announced.

The trailblazing Dartmouth coach is Dartmouth’s all-time winningest coach with a 117-101-2 record. Teevens led the program to five Ivy League titles.

Teevens coached at Tulane, Stanford, and Maine. Buddy was twice named Ivy League Coach of the Year.

Dartmouth president Sian Leah Beilock and athletic director Mike Harrity shared a joint statement that reads: “This is tragic news for Dartmouth and the entire football world.

“Buddy not only was synonymous with Dartmouth football, he was a beloved coach and an innovative, inspirational leader who helped shape the lives of generations of students.”

Teevens’ wife, Kirsten Teevens, announced in April that Buddy had been struck by a truck weeks prior while the two were riding bicycles in Florida.

She confirmed earlier reports that Teevens had sustained “serious” injuries. He sustained spinal cord damage and had his right leg amputated following the crash.

A police report stated the two were riding home from a restaurant on March 16, 2023, in St. Augustine, Florida, and Buddy was struck while attempting to cross a thoroughfare near the Atlantic coast around 8:40 p.m.

In April, Dartmouth announced that associate head coach Sammy McCorkle would take over as head coach in the interim.
