Announcing Wittenberg New Football Coach
Wittenberg University has announced that BJ Coad, Wittenberg Class of 2008, will take the reins of Wittenberg's historic football program as its new head coach effective Dec. 1, 2025. Coad was the associate head coach and offensive coordinator at Ohio Dominican University.
Coad returns to his alma mater after compiling an impressive coaching resume, including stops at Wittenberg, Syracuse University, Marian University (Indiana), Butler University, and Ohio Dominican. He spent the last two years as the top assistant to former Wittenberg defensive coordinator Kelly Cummings.
“BJ Coad is a true Tiger, and we are thrilled to welcome him back home to Wittenberg,” said Brian Agler ’80, vice president and director of athletics and recreation. “He has prepared himself well for this opportunity to take the reins of the Wittenberg Football program, and we are looking forward to seeing him take the Tigers back to levels of success achieved during his days as a student-athlete and coach at the University.
