It did not take long for Coffeyville to find the next leader of the football program, following the retirement of Jeff Leiker.

 

Defensive coordinator Nick Dobler has been named the 22nd coach in Coffeyville Red Raven history, following the past four seasons as coordinator. Dobler has coached multiple nationally recognized defenses, as well as having eight All-KJCCC linebackers in four seasons.

 

Dobler also spent eight seasons as defensive coordinator at Kilgore Junior College in Texas, winning two region championships and participating in four bowl games.

 

Coach Dobler was a two-time All-KJCCC linebacker himself at Independence in 2006 and 2007, and looks to continue the tradition of success and national prominence as the new Red Raven head football coach.
