"I am deeply thankful for the opportunity to have continued the 57-year legacy of my grandfather and father's coaching careers at Saint John's University," Haws said. "I will always hold dear my experience of recruiting, coaching and championing Johnnie student-athletes."

The Johnnies compiled a 115-96-29 (.540) record, including a 66-51-13 (.558) mark in conference play and 10 trips to the MIAC Playoffs during Haws' 14-season tenure as head coach. The MIAC Playoffs were not held during the COVID-shortened season in Spring 2021. Of the 10 postseason appearances, SJU reached the conference's semifinals eight times and the championship game twice.

As head coach, Haws' program produced eight All-Region honorees and 24 All-MIAC first-team selections. In the classroom, the Johnnies totaled 15 Academic All-District honorees, four Academic All-Americans and 88 achieved Academic All-MIAC (minimum 3.5 GPA) distinction over the past 14 seasons.

Haws was All-MIAC honorable mention as a senior in 1999 and served as head boys' soccer coach at Saint John's Prep while playing his senior season with the Johnnies that fall. He graduated that December and served as an assistant coach for his father, Pat '72, for 10 seasons (2000-09) before replacing him in May 2010.
