2007 Coaching Staff

Head Coach Steve Mohr

Steve Mohr will open his 19th as head coach of the Trinity football team this fall, having posted a record of 145-54 over his first 18 years.  He has long since established himself as the winningest coach in school history, in both total victories (145) and winning percentage (.729), and will coach his 200th career game to open the 2008 season.

Coach Mohr has also served on the NCAA Division III National Football Committee each of the past three years, and will continue in that role during this season.

Last year, the Trinity Tigers won the SCAC Championship for the 14th time in 15 seasons and made an appearance in the postseason for the 11th time since 1994.  The Tigers finished 9-2 overall and 6-1 in conference play.

Trinity also garnered national attention after executing a 15-lateral play - the "Trinity Miracle" play - to beat Millsaps College and earn the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year award.  The Ward earned the school over $100,000 towards the general scholarship fund, and brought unprecedented media attention to the Tiger football program.

Under his guidance, the Tigers have produced a 135-24 record over the past 14 yars, an .849 winning percentage, which is ranked third among Division III schools during that span.

In 2002, the Tigers advanced to the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, the Division III National Championship game in Salem, Virginia.

Respected by his peers, Coach Mohr has been named the SCAC Coach of the Year 10 times in his career - including the 2007 season.  He has received four GTE Regional coach of the Year awards, as selected by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA).  Coach Mohr is a two-time Division III National Coach of the Year, including receiving the honor in 2002 from the Football Gazette.  In 1998, Coach Mohr was named the Division III National Coach of the Year by the American Football Gazette, as well as by CBSsportsline.com.

Prior to joining the Trinity staff, Coach Mohr was an assistant varsity football and head junior varsity baseball coach at Ithaca College in New York from 1985-1989.  While at Ithaca, the Bombers reached the Division III football semifinals three times, finishing as National Champions in 1988 and runners-up in 1985.

Before coaching at Ithaca, Mohr served as an assistant varsity football coach and head baseball coach at the University of Findlay in Ohio from 1976-1984.  The University of Findlay captured the NAIA Division II football title in 1979 and were runners-up in 1978.

Under his direction, the Tiger defense has enjoyed tremendous success over the past two seasons.  In 2006, Trinity’s pass defense was the top-ranked unit in all division of the NCAA, and it was also the 22^nd-ranked overall defense in Division III.  The team allowed just 11.7 points/game, which was also top 15 in the country.

Coach Inco also served as the defensive coordinator at San Antonio’s Kennedy High School from 1992-1997, and is currently a teacher at Memorial High School.  His coaching career began at Hobart (NY) College in 1980.
