Dave
Dallas , Head Coach Dave Dallas begins his eleventh year at the helm of Kansas Wesleyan University Football, making him the longest tenured football coach in the Kansas Conference. Since coming to Wesleyan to start the 1997 season, Dallas has racked up a 56-44 record with the Coyotes, good enough for third all-time in total coaching wins at KWU. Dallas’ overall coaching record is 98-79-1 in 18 years, ten at KWU and eight at KCAC rival Ottawa University, where he was 42-35-1. Since coming to KWU, Dallas has captured two KCAC Championships in 2001 and 2002, and guided the Coyotes to their only two NAIA Post Season Championship berths in those same years. Dallas was named the 2001 KCAC Coach of the Year. During his tenure at Wesleyan, Dallas has coached six NAIA All-Americans, and over 170 All-KCAC players, including five KCAC Players of the Year. One of Dallas’ team goals is for the players to complete their degrees, and Dallas has coached 22 NAIA All-American Scholar Athletes since 1997 at KWU. Dallas played his collegiate football at Missouri Western, and began his coaching career there as a graduate assistant for two seasons in 1983 and 1984. After finishing his degree at MWSU in 1984, Dallas spent one season at Truman State University (then Northeast Missouri State) in 1985, as the Bulldogs captured the MIAA title that season with an 8-3 overall record, and 5-0 in the MIAA. After taking a year off from the college ranks to coach at Rolla High School in Rolla, Mo., Dallas became defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, for two seasons, before taking the head coaching job at Ottawa in 1989. Dallas took over the reigns of the Ottawa University program, and spent eight years at the leadership of the Braves, as they went 42-35-1 during his tenure. In 1997, Dallas took over a struggling Kansas Wesleyan program that had gone 4-26 the previous three years before his arrival. In just four years, in 2001, Wesleyan captured its first KCAC title since 1982, and made their first ever NAIA Post-Season appearance. Dallas is active in the American Football Coaches Association, as he is Second Vice President of the AFCA for the upcoming season. In January, Dallas was selected to represent the NAIA on the National Athletic Testing System (NATS) Board of Review at the AFCA Convention in San Antonio, Texas. NATS is a non-profit AFCA program and is a nationwide standardized athletic performance test that produces results that can be used to track and compare the players’ athletic ability and development. In many respects NATS is an athletic version of the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) for high school football players. Most importantly however, the NATS is a means of providing players, parents, coaches and school counselors important requirements, financial aid and athletic performance analysis and preparation. Dallas and his wife Kelly live in Salina, along with their four children Drew, Casey, Trey, and Molly.
