FOOTBALL: Congratulations To Former Ferris Coach Keith Otterbein On 100th Win

HILLSDALE - Former Ferris State University head coach Keith Otterbein, currently the head coach at Hillsdale College, earned the 100th win of his career during Saturday's thrilling home win over Michigan Tech University, 37-35.

Coach Otterbein earned a lot of those wins while he was head coach of the Bulldogs and he has carried his success to a fellow Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference member Hillsdale.

Here is a little from Otterbein's bio about his time at Ferris:

After an apprenticeship under two highly acclaimed coaches, Otterbein made his mark by becoming the youngest head college football coach in the nation when he was hired by Ferris State University before the 1986 season. Taking the job at the age of 28, Otterbein quickly turned the Bulldogs into a national power, winning 30 of his last 36 games coached at the school and guiding the team to three Division II playoff appearances. He was named the Regional Coach of the Year following the 1992 and 1994 seasons at Ferris State.
