Restic, the longest serving head football coach in Harvard history, was president of the American Football Coaches Association in 1988 and coached in six all-star games. In an article in 1993, the Boston Globe quoted Restic as saying, "Success is not what the players on my team do on the field, but what they are doing five years after they leave here. If I can have an impact in helping them along, thats what means the most to me." Restic was born on July 21, 1926 in Emeigh Run, Pa. and graduated from Villanova in 1952. He was a wide receiver and defensive back for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1952-53 and played baseball in the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
