SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Jack Kennedy, who is entering his seventh year as the head men's golf coach at University of San Francisco, has received an extension on his contract through 2027.
 
"I am excited for the opportunity to continue to work with our golf program," said Kennedy. "I am grateful that Father Fitzgerald and Charlie Cross have confidence in the direction we have taken program over the past few years. I will continue to work to develop student-athletes that The USF community will be proud of on and off the course."
 
In his six plus years as head coach, Kennedy has taken USF to new heights as the Dons reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 2021 before earning their second straight postseason berth this past spring. 
 
Overall, Kennedy tallied his first win as head coach when the Dons were crowned champions of The Farms Invitational (hosted by San Diego) on Feb. 12 + 13, 2017. In the years to follow, USF has continued to climb to ladder as the Dons have won seven tournaments under Kennedy in addition to finishing in the top five 31 times and in the top three 24 times. 
 
Notably, student-athletes have earned All-Confernece honors under Kennedy eleven times in six years, including Toby Briggs being named Freshman of the Year in 2017-18. Excluding the shortened season in 2019-20 where awards were not handed out, at least one Don has earned All-Conference honors each season under Kennedy.
 
Prior to being tabbed head coach, Kennedy also served as an assistant coach for both the men's and women's golf programs at USF. Personally, Kennedy was a four-year letter winner at Grinnell (Iowa) College as he earned First Team All-Midwest Conference honors in 2006.
