Along with the support of a great coaching staff and administrative team, I am looking forward to serving this community for many years to come!” Dakota Hermes, who served as the Interim Head Coach for a portion of the past football season, will resume his role as an Assistant Coach and Defensive Coordinator for the team. “On top of the continued success on the field, we look forward to Coach Plucker and his staff creating a culture of selflessness, leadership development and respect,” said Michalkiewicz. “I would like to thank the hiring committee for all of their time and hard work through the hiring process.”
