Todd Hafner - Head Coach

Todd Hafner enters his fifth year as head football coach.

Hafner led his 2007 squad to a 5-6 record, including a 3-4 Midwest League mark.

He also guided Penn to the program's first winning season in 29 years in 2005 when the team was 6-5. Over his four years, Hafner has produced 44 all-conference players and six All-Americans.

Hafner was born and raised in Oskaloosa until the age of eight when his family moved to Frontenac, Kan. He was then quarterback of his high school team under the tutelage of his father, Greg Hafner, a 1973 graduate of William Penn who was teammates with Wilbur Young and Bruce Polen, both of whom went on to play for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hafner graduated from Pittsburg State University in 1994 with a degree in mathematics (minor in coaching). He was also a quarterback on the football team before tearing ligaments, which forced him to become a student coach. He served in that capacity in 1991 when Pittsburg State won the NCAA Division II national championship and again in 1992 when the Gorillas were national runners-up. Hafner participated in, or was a part of, the playoffs in all five years he attended the University.

Hafner started his coaching career at Carl Junction HS in Carl Junction, Mo., where he was an assistant football coach for two years. From there he moved on to Southwest Baptist University where he was a graduate assistant for one campaign.

Hafner then returned to Carl Junction to take up the head coaching position. He held it for four years before taking an assistant coaching job at Emporia State University in Emporia, Kan. Hafner was the offensive coordinator for two years before adding assistant head coach to his duties.

While Hafner was at Emporia, the football team won the NCAAA Division II bowl game and the Mineral Water Bowl. They also shared the MIAA conference championship with Pittsburg State, Missouri Western, Northwest Missouri State, and Central Missouri State.

Hafner lives in Oskaloosa with wife, Mandy, and their four children: Tyler, 14, twins Austin and Emma, 7, and Ryan, 5.
