I am excited to have the opportunity to be the head football coach at the University of Minnesota. This is a great University and a program with rich tradition.
In my brief time here I have had the pleasure to interact with many Goal Line Club members and my experiences have been great, to say the least. I look forward to many more GLC events, which both my staff and I will be happy to be a part of.
I am excited to help boost memberships, as well as continue to spread the word about GOPHER FOOTBALL.
I look forward to a great partnership and remember, we are all in this together.
