2023 Football Roster - University of Sioux Falls Athletics (usfcougars.com)
So looked up the Coos roster this year. First year in a long time where im hoping 7-4. They return little to nothing on the Oline and Linebacking corps othen than Pederson..
Dbs Sapp and Aldrich return. We also return Rundigan and of course Mullen. Slykhuis returns but who will be WRS #1?
Ive always thought Jaelon Taylor from AZ jumped off the screen to be a potential gamer. The coo does return the deep and talented TE's as well.. Hmm, coach Glo has his work cutout for him this year imo

Looks like a few of the former USF coaching staff is landing at D1 FCS Eastern Washington. I know I saw Coach Farrel there, and Hayden Mace is the new Oline Coach.

I thought I would leave this here since he coached at Sioux Falls. Been following college football for a while. I have never heard of anyone one turning down Saban. Good for Deboer and Grubb, theyre really building a power out there.

I had done this research a year or so ago during a board discussion of "all it takes is just one coach" to turn a program around. I think it bears sharing once again the football impact Coach Young had at USF. He truly was our small-college version of Bill Snyder turning around K-State.
I had heard stories of how bad SuFuCo football was in the past from the old alumni but dug into it a little. Here's what I found perusing an old media guide...- Prior to the now 28 consecutive winning seasons streak which began in 1994, USF had only 16 winning seasons total and 7 additional seasons of .500 football in 90 some years of football. 6 of those 16 can be attributed to the man below, the savior of USF football, Bob Young. A few those are 2 and 3 win seasons in the 1910s so take that with what you will.
- The 40s and 50s were particularly dreadful. Following a .500 season in 1937, USF didn't get back to successful football until 1960. 23 years of bad bad football.
- That USF team included non other than a young Bob Young. Coach was a SFC graduate, linebacker and offensive guard and was all-conference as a senior (#65).
- That USF team included non other than a young Bob Young. Coach was a SFC graduate, linebacker and offensive guard and was all-conference as a senior (#65).
- No coach prior to Bob Young, had a winning record. Not one. Coach Young started at the Coo in 1983 and only had 3 losing seasons, 1986, 1987, and 1993 in 22 years at the helm. He would win 13 conference championships (9 SDIC and 4 GPAC), make 10 NAIA playoff trips, earn a national-runner trophy in 2001 and of course, win that memorable 1996 NAIA national title.

Whenever I would run into Coach Young he would always give me a hug. I'm not much of a hugger, but he was on the allowed whitelist.
The funny thing is I never played for him and he still remembered me. For most of his stint at USF in addition to coaching he also taught math. I took Calculus from him twice (failed the first time) and he remembered me from those classes. How many students did he come into contact with over the years, and I'll wager he remembered them all.
I have memories of the very first day of classes (both times) when he made it clear that he wasn't a football coach who happened to teach math, but he was a math teacher who happened to coach football.

Another notable tweet by another Coo legend turned Husky Chuck Morrell...
And some local news clips...
https://www.keloland.com/sports/long...g-passes-away/Kelo managed to dig up some archived shots of Coach from his first year in 1983 rocking some of the shortest shorts and did a virtual interview with DeBoer.https://www.dakotanewsnow.com/2023/0...-coach-friend/The artists formerly known as KSFY/KDLT had a nice tribute as well. Coach was just on the radio with Mark O last week.
All these old clips are really making me want that 1996 Natty hat Coach is rocking in the welcome home celebrations.

I had commented on twitter about this a bit ago....here are some other comments about Coach Young today. Lately Coach Stig from SDSU has been getting a lot of coverage..and he should..and Coach Bob Young was essentially the Coach Stig of USF and attended each game and followed things closely and stayed in touch with coaches and was very involved in FCA. He will be greatly missed.

Coach Young was an absolute legend of a person, family man and coach! Faithful servant who without a doubt in my mind is now in the Kingdom. Left a legacy for any coach, husband and dad to follow. Tremendous respect for Coach Young, well done faithful servant

I am heart broke to hear of the passing of Coach Young. A man that Loved and lived for Jesus and his impact pierced generations. One of my greatest mentors. Winners win coach…” and you just won your greatest victory resting in the arms of our savior

Sad day in Sioux Falls. Coach Young was one of the finest men I've ever met..really a tremendous fella. He will be greatly missed and a model for doing things the right way. He now gets to join his good buddy Coach C. Outstanding men.

Coach Young welcomed Amy and I immediately into the USF family when we got here and never stopped supporting, mentoring and helping me and our program. I will miss texting with him after big wins and some tough losses. Just a great coach and man, I will miss him dearly.

I would curse about this news, but I know Coach would not approve! Simply one of the most decent human beings God ever graced the planet with. He made a positive difference in countless lives. But now he rejoins his beloved Diane. Go rest well sir. And thank you.
