2015 Outlook

The Green Terror has struggled in the win column recently but the fruits of experience gained could blossom in 2015 with 19 returning starters ... the offense can move the ball but needs to finish, while the defense needs to prove it can stop the opposition ... McDaniel most likely will not win a Centennial title this fall, but it will take the next steps to contention. Preseason Prediction: 10th

Head Coach Mike Hoyt

Hoyt (Canisius '92) was hired on Mar. 6, 2012 as the 24th head coach in the storied history of Green Terror football and roamed the sidelines in 2012 for the first time as a head coach ... Hoyt joined McDaniel after spending the previous eight seasons as the defensive coordinator at Albright, culminating with being a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2011.
