Chris Pincince was named an Assistant Football Coach for the Post University Football program in July 2025.

Pincince started his career as a player in the 1990s as a quarterback for Boston University before graduating in 1994. From there, he made his first of three stops in New Haven, first as a wide receivers coach from 1994-96 before heading up the road to Fairfield University as their Offensive Coordinator and Quarterback Coach. Coming back to New Haven in 1999, Pincince spent three more seasons with the program in the Offensive Coordinator roll before jumping around from Brown to Ursinus over the next two years in similar capacities. 

After stints at Holy Cross, Rhode Island, and Elon from 2004-2013, Pincince arrived at New Haven for his first Head Coach position, which lasted over a decade. During his tenure, the Chargers went 76-34, winning five Northeast-10 Conference Championships in that span and going 2-5 in the NCAA Tournament. Pincince's team picked up their first NCAA Tournament win in 2018, a 35-28 win over West Chester, before falling in the Second Round to Slippery Rock. 

Since 2019, Pincince's teams had either outright won the NE10 or held a share of it in each of the last five seasons. The team's NE10 title in 2021 led to their second NCAA Tournament win, a 38-13 victory over Bentley, before dropping their Second Round matchup to Kutztown, 10-7. Pincince would guide the Chargers to the NCAA Tournament the following three years after that as well, capping off a stretch of five years in which New Haven had a team playing, 2020 being the outlier with the COVID-19 Pandemic, was atop the NE10 and four-year stretch of making the NCAA Tournament.
