University of Wisconsin-River Falls football head coach John O’Grady will retire at the end of the 2010 season. O’Grady, 56, informed the Falcons after Monday’s practice at Ramer Field.
“Most of my adult life, including four years as a player, five years as a volunteer coach and of course 22 seasons as the head coach has been spent at this University,” said O’Grady in a prepared statement.
The Falcons open the season on Thursday at Ohio Northern. Kick off is set for 3 p.m. (ET) at Dial-Roberson Stadium..
UW-Stout will open the 2010 season under first year head coach Clayt Birmingham when they travel to Black Hills State University (0-1, 0-0) in Spearfish, S. D., Friday, Sept. 3 with a 6 p.m. kickoff. This is the opener for the Blue Devils, but the second for the NAIA-affiliated Yellow Jackets. In July, Black Hills State was notified that the school’s application to NCAA Division II was accepted by the NCAA membership committee.
