For the third time in his illustrious career, Morningside College head football coach Steve Ryan has been named the top coach in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics by the American Football Coaches Association.
Ryan was selected by a vote of the active AFCA members at four-year schools in the association’s five divisions.
He’s among a group of five NAIA coaches who’ve earned the accolade two-or-more times.
In 2019, Ryan guided the Mustangs to a 14-0 record with their ninth consecutive Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) title and the school’s second NAIA national championship included.
Mside’s skipper has an overall record of 184-36 in his 18 years and has led the program to 16 consecutive post-season appearances, including seven trips to the semifinals in the last nine seasons.
