New Defensive Coach

[alleycat]

Entz, 37, is leaving his position as assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator at Winona State and heading to Cedar Falls, Iowa, where he will join the University of Northern Iowa staff as a full-time defensive assistant. Entz spent eight highly successful seasons with the Warriors, who won four NSIC championships during his time on head coach Tom Sawyer's staff.

Entz, who was named the NCAA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in 2008, was very active outside of the university as well. He was the main coordinator for community efforts by the WSU football team.

Entz began his coaching career at Wartburg College (IA) in 1995 where he played from 1991 to 1994. He was a three year starter at defensive line for Wartburg with 98 total tackles, 12 sacks, six forced fumbles, and two interceptions. In 1993 Entz played on a Wartburg team which won the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship and qualified for the NCAA Division III Playoffs. Entz and Wartburg returned to the NCAA playoffs in 1994.

D2 assistant coach of the year. Impressive.

You can tell by the quotes that the WSU folks think very highly of this guy.

I like it.

Tom Sawyer - he's gotta be getting pretty old by now doesn't he?

Sounds like a good coaching pick up.

No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent

Re: New Defensive Coach

Coach Wilt is gone but I am not sure where he moved on to.

Re: New Defensive Coach

It took a lot of convincing to get Wilt to come back last year. His wife is a doctor in Mississippi and I think he is just semi-retiring there.

Tarpon Springs had a wide range of interest for its head football coaching position with 97 applicants, including 22 from other states.

But in the end, the Spongers decided to stick to their roots.

Atif Austin, a former standout running back at the school, was named coach on Friday.
