Re: Head Coaching Search

Being part of this process I want to share with you the why so you have a better understanding and get on board with Coach Hendrickson. Western Illinois had upwards of 60-70 applicants for this position and 98% were just interviewing and wouldn’t be a good fit for the position we are  in.  We needed...

Re: Darius Joiner one of 25 finalists for Buck Buchanan Award

Re: Head Coaching Search
