Just a few days after losing as the #1 seed, Lindsey Wilson promoted five-year Defensive Coordinator Phil Kleckler to Head Coach. The previous head man, Chris Oliver, had recently resigned in order to accept the Head Coach position at Georgetown (KY), replacing another Natty-winning coach, Bill Cronin, who was retiring after 25 seasons in charge.

More of a game than we got in either NCAA D-II or D-III. Disappointing, nonetheless, for my favorite NAIA conference....
