This Week on DingoTalk: Dan Wodicka, Johns Hopkins Head Football Coach
On this episode of DingoTalk, we sit down with Dan Wodicka, the newly named James F. Margraff Head Coach of Football at Johns Hopkins University. A 2014 Blue Jay graduate, Wodicka’s journey from standout wide receiver to defensive coordinator, and now head coach, is a story of loyalty, leadership, and lasting impact.
We dive into Dan’s decade-long connection with the program — from playing days where he set school records and won four conference titles, to his years on the sidelines shaping dominant defensive units and championship teams. Dan shares lessons from his coaching stops at Northern Michigan and Williams College, and what it means to now lead the very program that helped shape him.
Tune in as we talk about the Hopkins culture, building off a 12-2 season and NCAA Semifinal run, and the weight of following legends like Jim Margraff and Greg Chimera. You’ll hear about Dan’s leadership philosophy, the importance of family and tradition, and what’s ahead for the Blue Jays in 2024 and beyond.
A Johns Hopkins guy through and through — this is one you won’t want to miss.
