Joseph William Restic (born July 21, 1927 in Hastings, Pennsylvania) is a former American football coach for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League and the Harvard Crimson of U.S. College Football.__TOC__

Playing career

Restic played college football at Villanova University and graduated in 1952.

He played two seasons as a wide receiver and defensive back for the National Football League's Philadelphia Eagles.

Coaching career

From 1956 to 1958, he served as an assistant coach at Brown University. He was an assistant coach at Colgate University from 1959-1961.

He went to Hamilton in 1962, where he served as an assistant coach and later offensive coordinator. In 1968, he became the fourth head coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, replacing Ralph Sazio. As head coach, he posted a 22-17-3 record.

On January 5, 1971, he became the third head coach of Harvard. He was head coach for 23 years amassing a record of 117-97-6. He led Harvard to five Ivy League championships. When he retired in 1993, the 23 years that he coached at Harvard was the longest tenure in the school's 124 year history.

In 1981 a group of seniors from the Harvard football team circulated a petition criticizing Restic's distant demeanor and his tendency to criticize his players in public. The petition became public and caused strain between Restic and the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper, for the rest of his tenure.

Restic served as president of the American Football Coaches Association in 1988.
