Head Coach: Marc Bjelac

Coaching Staff: Jon Culp, DC; Brian Bugos, OL/DL, Rick Giuliano, WR/DE; John Cicero, OL/LB; Brian Gleason, QB/LB; Robbie Bauman, RB/DB

Offensive/defensive Formations: Multiple I and spread on offense, 3-4 on defense.

Outlook: Coming off a 1-9 season, Bjelac has nine lettermen returning including six starters. Bjelac believes the size and strength of the offensive line will be a positive as will the kicking game and having veterans at key positions including quarterback and middle linebacker. He expects Liberty, Lakeview and Hubbard to challenge for the TAC-8 crown.

Returning Lettermen: Grogan, Walker, Novotny, Zigler, Sole.
