Coach Russ has been at Keiser for the past six years this year he served as the Assistant Head Coach with a specialty in the running back department along with being the recruiting coordinator. This past season’s performance boasted a great success from Russ’ work in the running back room as Keiser rushed for a total of 3,169 yards and produced a program-best 47 rushing touchdowns. This true display of dominance was shown through the playoffs as the dynamic duo Andrew Burnette and Jaden Meizinger were nearly impossible to stop on the ground.
As for Doug Socha the now former Keiser Head Coach, Socha accepted the head coaching job at Lenoir-Rhyne, an NCAA Division II school in Hickory, NC.
