Eugene “Buddy” Teevens, who led Dartmouth College to five Ivy League championships and was the school’s winningest coach, died Tuesday. He was 66.

Teevens died as a result of complications from injuries he suffered in a bicycle accident when he was struck by a pickup truck in March in St. Augustine, Florida, WCAX-TV reported.

Doctors were forced to amputate his right leg a month later, according to Bleacher Report.

“We are saddened to share the passing of legendary Robert L. Blackman Head Football Coach Buddy Teevens ‘79,” Dartmouth officials said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones.”

“Our family is heartbroken to inform you that our beloved ‘coach’ has peacefully passed away surrounded by family,” Teevens’ family said in a statement. “Unfortunately, the injuries he sustained proved too challenging for even him to overcome, throughout this journey, we consistently relayed the thoughts, memories, and love sent his way. Your kindness and letters of encouragement did not go unnoticed and were greatly appreciated by both Buddy and our family.”

Dartmouth announced in May that assistant coach Sammy McCorkle would serve as interim coach during the 2023 season, ESPN reported. Teevens moved to Boston this summer to continue his rehabilitation from the accident and live closer to his family, WCAV reported.

Teevens had two stints as head coach at his alma mater, going 117-102-5 overall, ESPN reported. According to Dartmouth’s football media guide, Teevens piloted the Big Green from 1987 through 1991 in his first stint as head coach.
