DWU has lowest average coaching tenure in GPAC

When the 2010-11 school year starts in a few months, there will be two new faces in the crowd in the Dakota Wesleyan University athletic department. New faces are something DWU is familiar with. The university, whose longest-tenured coaches will enter their sixth years with the school this fall, has an average tenure of 3.7 years among its 13 head coaching positions. That average is the lowest among the 13 schools in the Great Plains Athletic Conference, of which the university is a part. The GPAC school with the longest average tenure among its coaches is Midland Lutheran, in Fremont, Neb., at 12.2 years.
