Central State Begins Search for Head Football Coach
April 11, 2003
The Central State University Board of Trustees and president
John W. Garland have announced that the University will begin
a nationwide search for a head coach to direct the
Marauder football program.
In January, 2002, the Board approved a $1.5 million fund-raising
campaign to bring back intercollegiate football. The first
step in the process was to raise $500,000 at which time the
search for a head football coach would begin.
The milestone was achieved March 1, 2003.
As of April 3, 2003, an additional $40,000 was raised. The
new head football coach will assist in raising the remainder
of the needed funds to re-establish the program.
CSU has not played intercollegiate football since the 1996
season. During the 90's the Marauder football program won three
NAIA National Football Championships (19990, 1992 and 1995).
The Master plan for the re-establishment of football calls
for the team to play in the Fall of 2004.
