Over time, the Memorial Field complex has been enhanced by the 400-meter Rhodes track, East stands, FieldTurf surface, Floren Varsity House, the Stephen Lewinstein Family Video Scoreboard, a press box, and lights.
Dartmouth plans to dedicate the stadium in Teevens’ honor on Oct. 5, when the football team takes to the field for its first Ivy League game of the season vs. Penn. The existing signage for Memorial Field and the war memorials will be untouched and continue to be preserved to share with future generations.
“Remembering Buddy Teevens, and the Dartmouth football coaching tradition he epitomized, at Memorial Field seems especially fitting,” says Peter Frederick ’65, one of the founders of Dartmouth Uniformed Service Alumni, aka the veterans group DUSA, and former president of the Sphinx Foundation, Dartmouth’s oldest senior society. “Buddy, a member of Sphinx, was an outstanding example of the organization’s tenet, loyalty to Dartmouth.”
“He brought a lot of glory for Dartmouth, along with pride and excitement for all of us attending games in the stands and on the sidelines. Leading his teams with the singing of the Dartmouth Alma Mater after every game, win or lose, made a lasting impression on every alumnus and Dartmouth supporter.”
An Ivy League Player of the Year as quarterback at Dartmouth—he led the Big Green to the Ivy title in 1978—Teevens was the head coach at Dartmouth for 22 years, sharing the Ivy League title in 1990 and winning it outright the following year. After coaching at Tulane and Stanford, he returned to Dartmouth in 2005 and led the team to a share of the Ivy League crown in 2015, 2019, and 2021. While at Dartmouth, Teevens was honored as the New England Coach of the Year three times, in 1990, 2015, and 2019, and Ivy League Coach of the Year in 2019 and 2021.
All told, his record as Dartmouth head coach was 117-101-2, including 83-70-1 in Ivy League play.
Teevens was known as an innovator in many ways, including in the area of player safety. He became the first coach to eliminate traditional tackling in practices in a move to cut down on concussions. He worked with Dartmouth’s Thayer School of Engineering to create the Mobile Virtual Player, a robotic tackling dummy that is being used by teams at all levels, including the NFL.
The eight teams in the Ivy League wore decals with Teevens’ initials on their helmets this past fall in tribute to his contributions.
Teevens was a crucial part of the Manning Passing Academy for 25 years. It is where he met Callie Brownson and recruited her to Dartmouth, where she became the first full-time female Division I coach in football. Both Brownson and another Teevens hire, Jennifer King, have gone on to coach in the NFL.
Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning last month announced on ESPN that a national award named for Teevens would be given to a coach who makes a lasting impact on the game of football, on and off the field.
And the NCAA awarded Teevens the 2024 Pat Summitt Award posthumously at its convention last month. The award, established in 2017, honors people in the NCAA who have demonstrated their devotion to the development of student-athletes.
