John "Jay" Accorsi Jr. (born October 1, 1963) is an American former college football coach. He was the head football coach at Rowan University, [1] an NCAA Division III program in Glassboro, New Jersey. He began coaching at Rowan in 2002, and in his first season he led the Profs to a New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) championship, which was their second in a row. He has guided them to seven outright or tied NJAC championships in all. In 2010, Rowan was the co-champion with Montclair State, but due to a tiebreaker they did not qualify for the postseason. In 2013, Rowan received the playoff bid because of their tiebreaker over SUNY Brockport. He retired following the 2023 season. [2]
