After a 50-year coaching career, including the past decade leading the program at the University of San Diego (FCS), Dale Lindsey has decided the time has come to retire.
The school announced the news last night.
Lindsey is the program's all-time winningest head coach, accumulating a record of 80-30, including an impressive 63-9 mark in Pioneer League play.
His list of career accomplishments is long and includes seven Pioneer League titles, five appearances in the FCS playoffs and an FCS record-tying 39 straight conference wins that spanned from 2015-21.
The former Western Kentucky All-American linebacker took the head coaching job at San Diego in 2012 with four decades of coaching experience that included time with seven different NFL teams, including with the hometown Chargers as their defensive coordinator in the early 2000's.
Other programs and organizations he coached with include the Packers, Patriots, Buccaneers, Redskins, and Bears, and college stops at SMU and New Mexico State.
Please join us in wishing all the best to coach Lindsey during this next chapter of his life.
