A handful of fall sport programs in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference will have new faces roaming the sidelines when the football and soccer seasons kick off next year.  Staff changes were announced recently at RCTC, Fond du Lac Tribal & Community College and North Dakota State College of Science.

In football, MCAC programs North Dakota State College of Science and Fond du Lac Tribal & Community College will have first-year mentors wearing the headset.  Eric Issendorf was tabbed as the new head football coach at NDSCS in late January.  For the full Wildcat press release on Coach Issendorf, please click this link.   On the other side of Minnesota, FDLTCC will be led by Davin DePoe, a former U.S. paratrooper and Iraqi War veteran.  To read up on the new Thunder head coach, visit: http://fdltcc.edu/campus-life/thunder-athletics/football/

At Rochester Community & Technical College, long-standing veteran head coach Deb Hare stepped down from the Yellowjackets in December.  This February, RCTC announced that Bryan Weiss, a local coach with strong community ties, has been named as Hare's successor.  To read the RCTC press release on the appointment, go to: http://www.rctcyellowjackets.com/sports/wsoc/2017-18/RCTC_Weiss
