John Carroll University has hired a new director of athletics, bringing a familiar face back to the Blue Streaks by naming Brian Polian to the position.
Polian, who boasts 25 years of experience in leadership and coaching at the Division I level, returns to JCU after 26 years. He began his football career with the Blue Streaks, graduating from JCU in 1997 and playing on the team for four years. In that time, Polian earned All-OAC Second Team honors in 1996, playing alongside College Football Hall of Fame member London Fletcher.
From there, Polian went on to serve as the special teams coordinator/ tight ends coach at Texas A&M; the special teams coordinator, recruiting coordinator, and safeties coach at Stanford under Jim Harbaugh and David Shaw; the head coach at Nevada; special teams coordinator at Notre Dame under Brian Kelly and most recently, associate athletics director / general manager of football at Louisiana State University.
Now, taking the job as director of athletics, Polian's roots are replanted at the place he began his football career—the halls of John Carroll University. People from his past have spoken out about how excited they are for Polian, including Brian Kelly, who he most recently worked with.

The deeper story behind Rebel Theatrics - KRLD NewsKellie Carroll doesn't believe that everything happens for a reason. But she does believe you can make a reason out of everything, including personal tragedy. Carroll is the founder of Rebel Theatrics. While it’s primarily a theater and dance training company, part of their curriculum is dedicated to mental health, because she feels there’s a huge lack of support in that area in the fine arts. It's support that she knows is needed after losing her brother, Scott, to a mental health crisis in May of 2017. 'We did not have much, if any, warning signs for his choosing to stop living his life,' Carroll says. 'In the process of my family healing from such a sudden, tragic and confusing loss...more and more (of my) students were coming to me...with bigger things about their self-worth and self-esteem and emotional health. And that's when I knew I wanted to be more than just a dance teacher and just a theater teacher.' So two years ago, Carroll and co-founder Lucas Atkins, founded Rebel Theatrics.
