JAMESTOWN — The University of Jamestown football team’s coaching staff will have a familiar face patrolling the sidelines next season with the hiring of Tom Dosch to multiple roles on the staff.
On Wednesday, Feb. 12, Dosch was hired as the associate head coach, linebackers coach and special teams coordinator.
“It was a great opportunity for me to get back to coaching with several guys that have even coached for me that have been around for a number of years and at a school and a university I’m familiar with the people and the community and also a conference that I spent 10 years coaching in, in the Northern Sun (Intercollegiate Conference),” Dosch said. “So a lot of familiarity … in terms of both personal and professional movement.”
Dosch said the university reached out to him and the talks progressed once the mutual interest was established. Dosch said his first few days have been spent meeting his new players and his fellow coaches and getting his feet under him. Dosch said he has paid attention to the program and how it is doing since he left, which makes the transition in his return easier.
Dosch said he will work with the linebackers alongside defensive coordinator Shane Clancy.
Last season, the Jimmies had 46 punts for an average of 34.67 yards per game and 29 kickoffs for 20.31 average distance yards. The Jimmies also went 3-for-5 on field goals and 14-for-19 on extra points.
“The structure and the ability to coach the special teams and have that as a focus is going to be huge for those guys and he’s really good at it,” Jimmies head coach Brian Mistro said. “So for me to say, ‘Hey coach, you’re gonna take over special teams and still be helping out on defense obviously too and helping me with head coach stuff.’ … It all circles back to the idea…
