Head Football Coach for College of DuPage | 3x NJCAA DIII National Champions | DuPage-Hastings College-Concordia Chicago Alum |13 year Arena Football Veteran.
At 9:58 am Sarah and I were able to sign the top recruit of the upcoming 2020 season. At 8 lbs 11 ounce and 21 inches long we welcomed Matthew "Bear" Rahn into the world. Sarah and Bear are doing great and I couldn't be more happier.
Mission completed. I couldn't be more blessed with a better staff, administration and players. All you players that stuck by us during COVID, thank you! This one's for you!
RE-PEAT! Can't begin to say how proud I am with the guys on our squad. Instead of being a team of individuals, we played as a team. No finger pointing, just a group of student-athletes playing together for the same goal. We're build different here!
It's a culture and it isn't for everyone.
What resilient, mentally tough group of really good student-athletes. Proud of the guys on this squad, proud to call the coaches on this staff friends.
We're willing to travel and play any MCAC team in the regular season. We travel out of state regularly and traveled further than NDSCS did for this game twice this season. It's unfair to have teams who do not play a single out of conference game be ranked. No disrespect.

Absolutely no disrespect to DuPage but we probably need to think about where we play the Division III national championship game. My program has played in the Red Grange bowl and-no disrespect to
@FBCoach_Rahn
but there’s clearly a home-field advantage. Not having a travel, etc.
Glen Ellyn area residents, there is no inclimate weather this morning... That is just the thunderous clap of shoulder pads coming from COD's campus!

How addicting. 36 years old, first team all conference against "kids" in their mid 20's. Many with NFL experience... and the love is still 100% for this kids game
Unbelievably proud of some of these Spring 2020 grades I'm seeing. Reassuring that our program is improving the STUDENT and the ATHLETE in our student-athletes. Keep it up fellas!

College of DuPage football is saddened by the death of our former teammate Jamal Williams. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the Williams family. We loved Jamal, and he loved us.
God Bless Jamal.
Much Love to his former teammates. We are here for you.
Was a pleasure speaking at the

University of Illinois clinic. Always good to get the word out to our in-state coaches about the amazing things we're building here at DuPage.

For the absolutely majority of kids in college, a degree is more life changing than playing time. My mission is accomplished when my players walk that stage with a 4 year degree.
If you are a
#JUCOPRODUCT
that’s on a D1 Team and is barely getting PT . Do your self a favor and your family and transfer down to a team that’s going to play you. Don’t stay two years at a school with nothing to show for it except for a useless degree.
"Heroes get remembered but legends never die." Jared it was an honor to be your center and friend. I completely idolized you from a far when we were in college and later became teammates. See you on the other side as I know you will have our ritual "post game drink" ready.
Whoever pulls the trigger on this guy gets the real deal. Already better than many I've played with and against at the arena level. RB/WR/DB/LS pound for pound they don't come any tougher.
@Dupage_Football
My "biggest" fan, "Big Ben". I've known Ben and his parents since I first played for Omaha in 2012. It's been a joy seeing Ben over all these years and seeing him grow up!
Very excited to watch my Alma mater

Congratulations to College of DuPage on their NJCAA Non-Scholarship National Championship! 🏆

Beware of this phrase, "post grad(prep)/Juco football program." Post grad, Prep, Juco are 3 different things. If you're considering a program that claims they're all 3, you need to research the difference, see what is best for you n find a successful program that fits your need.
Overlooked in recruiting or hungry for an opportunity? College of DuPage football is hosting an open tryout on April 24th. Detail and link to pre-register included on the link.

No matter what happens on the field, I am a true fan of this young man. The community outreach I have seen from
@justnfields
is truly inspiring. I really hope Chicago never overlooks or takes for granted the amazing young man they have leading their team.
Spring Tryout set for student-athletes looking to joining us for the summer/fall. Step 1 of the evaluation process is properly filling out the pre-registration!

Thanks for everything
@CoachFosterCOD
. The mentorship and impression you've instilled in me and others has and will continue to carry us through life. Can't believe it's been 22 years since you began pushing me to be the best athlete and man I can be. Thanks again!
Unfortunately many programs operate like the ones you see on Last Chance U. But there are many others that are polar opposites and continue to help mold and lead young men on to great futures after using thier program as a stepping stone.
I recently heard degrading comments and attitude towards Junior College programs. I realize that some folks just do not know quality!

Couldn't be more proud of the former Chaps that have signed since fall! You guys are Champs and have taken the

Attention former Chaparrals! We're building our alumni database and need your help. Please fill out this link and pass it along to any other former Chaps!
The definition of a true warrior who continues to prove that road-blocks can be navigated around. Completely proud is an understatement as us colleague have difficulty wording the amazing things she has accomplished and the mountains she'll continue climb!

Seeing this way too often these days.
1. Prep schools DO burn a year of eligibility if it is you're more that 1 year removed from high school.
2. How can film against other Prep programs get you recruited to places your high school film couldn't?
There hasn't been a personality in the NFL before him or since.

Amazing story. Another infinite reason why sports are magical. Caden is an inspirational young man! Very proud to know
@ted_egger
and compete against Hocking College.
Caden Cox has always been more interested in making kicks than making history.
But earlier this season, he did both, becoming the first player with Down syndrome to play, as well as score a point, in a college football game.
When you recruit JUCO players , understand they are not HS players. They got 2 to 3 years to try to change their families lives. Stop recruiting them for depth, they didn’t go through 2 years of the struggle to go rotate with a HS player
Had an amazing time coming back to Hastings Nebraska to watch
@HCBroncoFball
kick off thier season with the comeback win. Thanks to
@CoachHarperHC
for welcoming me back.

@Coach_WBarto
Cali juco's take a full year for a non Cali resident to establish residency for tuition. Because of that, most times are more expensive than private 4 year schools for out of state kids. College of DuPage has a stellar reputation of winning with and developing kids out of HS
Imagine if the RG cut the LB like the RT cut the 3 tech. Cutting off flow backside is just as important as creating front side flow in Mid-Zone. The RT does an amazing job! That is what it looks like.
