USRowing executive director Glenn Merry officially announced the hiring of Tim McLaren as men's head coach and Kris Korzenowski as its director of men's rowing. "We are very excited for what Tim will bring to the position of head coach,” Merry said. McLaren has been coaching at the California Rowing Club and worked with the U.S. Olympic squad and former U.S. coach Mike Teti through the Beijing Games. Teti left USRowing to become the Cal men's coach after the Olympics. Korzenowski, who coached Teti as an athlete, has held numerous titles as a U.S. national team coach during various periods over the past four decades. Tom Terhaar and John Parker remain as the women's and lightweight coaches, respectively, with new assistants and responsibilities as previously announced by USRowing.
