Coaching history

His coaching record at Carroll College was 15-34. As of 2007, this ranks him eighth all-time at Carroll College in total wins and 21st at Carroll College in winning percentage.[3]

The Bulldogs won the 2009 Pioneer Football League title by compiling a 7-1 league record and a 10-1 regular season overall. The conference title run included a come-from-behind 25-24 victory over Pioneer League preseason favorite San Diego, a 31-28 road win at Dayton (who also finished with a 7-1 league record), and a 20-17 title-clinching victory over Drake.

The Pioneer Football League title earned the Bulldogs a berth in the last Gridiron Classic. It was Butler's first postseason appearance since 1991 when they were still a Division-II football program. Butler defeated Central Connecticut State 28-23 to win the Gridiron Classic and finish 11-1.
