MSU assistant football and track and field coach  Jim Louis has accepted a position as an assistant football coach at Wartburg College.

Louis has been at Minot State University for five years, serving the past two years as the defensive coordinator in football and the past five years working with the sprinters and jumpers in track and field.

Wartburg College is located in Waverly Iowa an participates at the NCAA III level.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity afforded to me by Coach Mike Siverston (Head Football Coach) and Rick Hedberg (Athletic Director), to work with the wonderful student-athletes I have had the good fortune to coach.  "I will miss the athletes and staff the most.  Minot has been a wonderful place to start a family with my wife Stacy, but with the upcoming birth of our third child we feel it is extremely important to be closer to family.  Family is the main reason for making a change in location."

"Jim has been a great assistant in both football and track and field during his time at MSU," Hedberg said.  'He's a hard-working coach and he has earned a great deal of respect from his athletes.  We wish him the best.

Hedberg said a national search will begin immediately in hopes of having someone hired by early June.
