Fort Wayne can be proud to have the winninest football team in state of Indiana in addition to being ranked number 2 in a recent national poll. We also have one of the greatest football coaches in the country, Kevin Donely.
As reported by The Indiana Daily Student
INDIANAPOLIS — The winningest Indiana college football team in recent years? It’s not Notre Dame. It’s certainly not Indiana or Purdue or even Wabash.
With a 41-game regular-season winning streak heading into its opener Saturday, the state’s most consistently good football program has been tiny St. Francis.
St Francis can boast not having lost a regular season game since 2001. I’m a supporter of SFU COugar football and attend many of the games; they’re as exciting as a Colts game, (I don’t miss to many of those either).
This season they’re faced with the loss of 19 seniors from last year, but Coach Kevin Donley has a great recruiting record and expects another winning season.
Donley, who has been named Mid-States Football Association Coach-of-the-Year five of the last six years, was head coach at Georgetown College for 11 seasons from 1982-92. While at Georgetown, Donley led the Tigers to the 1991 NAIA national championship with a 13-1 record, a season in which he earned NAIA National Coach of the Year honors. Faced with a monumental building process during his tenure with the Tigers, Donley’s record was an impressive 77-42 (.647) at Georgetown.
Donley was the NAIA National Coach-of-the-Year in 1991 at Georgetown and again in 2004 at St Francis. At the age of 26 he was named the youngest head coach in the country while at Anderson College. Also at SFU is his Donley’s son Pat who joined the USF staff in 2004 as wide receivers coach. You can be certain the NFL has their eye on Donley.
P.S. If any of you fellow Bloggers want tickets let me know, I have quite a few extras each game in the regular section and some in the VIP section as well.
