The Hastings College Broncos have decided to move on from longtime head football coach Tony Harper.
Harper has been at the helm of the program for the previous ten years, coaching 102 football games (44-58 overall). Harper was on staff for five years previous acting as defensive coordinator. Before that, he was head coach for Dakota Wesleyan.
The college said they would be moving forward quickly in the process to find a new head coach.
"Coach Harper's leadership taught many about passion, commitment, discipline and a positive professional attitude," said Athletic Director B.J. Pumroy.
"Ultimately, this decision comes down to success on the field. Hastings College is proud of our Bronco football program, but the team is not achieving the level of success on the field that is expected given the resources available. I greatly appreciate the efforts coach Harper made as a leader for the Broncos, and we wish him nothing but success in his future endeavors."
