Haws returns to the SJU soccer coaching staff in 2012 as the program's junior varsity coach. The winningest coach in Minnesota college men’s soccer history, Haws guided the Johnnies to a 341-140-50 (.689) record and a 218-77-31 (.716) MIAC record with seven regular-season conference titles and one MIAC playoff championship in 32 seasons. He entered the 2009 season, his final at the helm, 15th among active coaches and 19th all-time in NCAA Division III in career victories.

Haws was named the MIAC Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1989 and the NCAA Division III Midwest Region Coach of the Year in 1986. In 2005, he became the first soccer coach in MIAC history to win more than 300 matches. His teams finished first or second in the MIAC 15 times, and in the 1980s, SJU ranked seventh among Division III teams with a .772 winning percentage.
