KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY TO BEGIN SEARCH FOR HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

 

KUTZTOWN, PA - Kutztown University Director of Athletics Greg Bamberger has announced the beginning of a search for a new head football coach for the Golden Bears.  The search is the result of the non-renewal of Dave Keeny's contract, who will leave the position effective immediately.   

 

            "We appreciate Dave Keeny's years of service with our football program and wish him the best," Bamberger said.  "After careful consideration, we feel it is necessary to move in a new direction at this time.  Our main focus now is to bring in the very best person to lead our football program into the future."

 

            Keeny served as head coach of the Golden Bears from 1998-2005.  Keeny compiled a record of 38-45 in his eight seasons.  He had a 23-25 record against Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division opponents.  In 2005, Keeny's final season, the Golden Bears were 2-8 overall, including a 2-4 mark in the PSAC East.  He leaves as the third-winningest coach in school history.

 

            Keeny, a 1983 graduate of Kutztown University, was a running back for the Golden Bears from 1978-81.  He returned to KU as the offensive coordinator in 1993 under then head coach Al Leonzi.

 

            The current assistant football coaches remain under contract and will handle the day-to-day duties of the football program.
