Team History
A school that has been a stepping stone for some great coaches. 5 coaches have parlayed this job to major conference jobs where they won conference titles at their next stop. In between those great coaches they have had enough bad seasons to have a losing record all time. This will be year 2 of Jay Sawvel trying to replace Craig Bohl and he'll need to be better than last season if he wants to stick around.
