The Minnesota Vikings are honoring Marshall’s Terry Bahlmann with their Coach of the Week award.
Below is a snippet from the Vikings website about Coach Bahlmann:
Terry Bahlmann is in his 39th season as a football coach, including eighteen years as head coach of the Marshall Tigers. He has a career record of 260-106. His 260 career victories currently rank him 5th among Minnesota Active Football Coaches in wins. In his eighteen seasons in Marshall, his teams have compiled a 136-41 record and has qualified for the State Tournament 3 times. Bahlmann has had 19 conference/district championship teams, winning a state championship and state runner up in Iowa. He has been named conference/district Coach of the Year 18 times. He is a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa. He has a Masters degree from Southwest Minnesota State. Coach Bahlmann was the Head Coach for the Outstate in the 2007 Minnesota Football Coaches All Star Game and an assistant coach for the 2016 game. Coach Bahlmann is past president of the Minnesota Football Coaches Association during the 2017-2018 year.
His family consists of his wife Jan and three children, Allison, Dani, and Brad. They also have four grandchildren, Brayden, Harper, Marley, and Mabel.
When asked why Bahlmann coaches, he said, “My high school coach was a great mentor for me, and I always knew I wanted to coach football. After 39 years I still enjoy watching those young players come into our program and four years later leave our program with life skills of teamwork, working hard for a common goal, determination, and discipline.”
Minnesota Vikings
After each week of games during the high school football season, the Vikings honor a high school coach of the week. Coaches are chosen based on their contribution on the football field, but more importantly, on the impact they make within their community and for their student-athletes. In addition to being recognized in local media for the achievement, the school’s football program receives a $1,000 donation on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings.
