STALKING THE SIDELINES - Joe

fensive coordinator. He previously
coached at Grand Valley State University where he was part of two NCAA

as an assistant coach at Western Michigan University. He became the 18th
head football coach in Elmhurst history
after Tim Lester departed for Syracuse
University.
ACROSS THE FIELD - Paul
Mierkiewicz is entering his third season as the head coach at Loras. A 1989

opening-day winning streak to 11.

NEW SIDELINE FACES - With the
departure of former head coach Tim
Lester, Joe Adam promoted assistant
coach Kyle Derickson to the role of
offensive coordinator. Former Bluejay
Mike Heffernan joined Adam’s staff
as the team’s new offensive line coach
and recruiting coordinator. A part-time
assistant coach in 2011, Glenn Brittich
has rejoined the Bluejays coaching staff
as a full-time assistant coach working
with the wide receivers. Adam has also
added part time coaches Wayne
Tuckson (outside linebackers), Matt
Denny (Specialist), Ron Carlson
(assistant offensive line) and Tyler
Fawbush (assistant defensive line) to
the Bluejays’ coaching staff.
PRESEASON POLLING - After finishing the 2012 season ranked eighth in
