Loper Quarterback Enters Portal - https://kgfw.com/2023/11/20/57821/
Sean Johnson Jr. is on the way out. This may have been a surprise to some Loper fans considering he was the backup and partial starter this year. But I'm not too surprised. He's a similar athlete to TJ Davis, so I don't think he's a great fit for the Held offense.
Other transfers announced so far include Jerome Houston, Delonte Dickey, Tywan Muturi, Demareus Hosey and Tim Brown.

As I said before, he was brought in to Florence to right the ship on offense and he did just that. UNA’s defense had been the high point in the roller coaster ride that is transitioning from D2 to D1. But, the offense struggled the first three seasons. He totally changed that. Sadly, we had a down year on defense and it was the end of the road for the head coach who had been a long-term UNA Asst.
His offense last season had the ASUN Offensive Player of the Year (a running back) and the conference Freshman of the Year (the QB transfer he brought from Nebraska). I feel pretty certain he will do his best to keep the excitement going at UNK.

I’m sorry for the delay. Saw this the other day and definitely wanted to respond. I’m disappointed just like many Lopers fans but I do think it can take a season or two for a new coach to put their full scheme into place. It will be interesting to see how recruitment goes in the offseason. The QB he brought to UNA from Nebraska was still our starter this season, beating out a QB our current coach brought with him from FAU. So, I’m hoping Held can have a good offseason and get the confidence of the fans back before and during next season.Go GSC and Roar LIONS!!

His longest head coaching stop is 4 years so there's no history to point to that shows how he can build and sustain a winning program. He's always jumped at the next opportunity as soon as he experienced any kind of success at his current job. But in his defense, he's never been a head coach at anything close to a "destination" job... although I'm sure he would have liked the chance to keep the job at UNA.

Former UNK football assistant leaving for head coaching job at Lincoln University - https://www.ksnblocal4.com/2024/01/1...ln-university/
Good luck to Coach Harper. He's brave to take on that job, but at least he won't be going up against MIAA competition.
