2016 Outlook

Dickinson struggled to its sixth consecutive non-winning season in 2015 but built a foundation that may change things this fall ... a veteran offensive line will help a young quarterback, while an experienced defensive front and secondary should improve ... the Red Devils may not contend for a Centennial title, but will cause opponents fits in 2016. Preseason Prediction: 8th

Head Coach Darwin Breaux

Breaux (West Chester ‘77) enters his 24th year as Dickinson’s head coach ... he is the winningest football coach in school history with a 130-104-1 career record … Breaux was named the AFCA South Region Coach of the Year in 1994 … he led the Red Devils to Conference titles in 1993, 1994, 2004 and 2006.
