Introductions

Hi, I'm Andy Kolstad. 

I'm a mathematics teacher, a father and have been known to carry a tune. But the reason you are here is because we share a love of football. 

I’m a third generation Kolstad family football coach. I grew up with football. My grandfather, father and brother coach football. I coach football. I live football. 

I began my coaching career as a Defensive Backs coach at West De Pere High School in Wisconsin. We went 11W/1L and made it to the third round of the playoffs. In 2008, I moved to North Carolina, where I joined my brother Ben as the Defensive Coordinator for the Cary Imps. During the three years I was with Cary, our defense ranked in the Top 10 in North Carolina and it was ranked No. 1 in 2010.

After our daughter was born, my wife and I moved back to Wisconsin to be closer to the grandparents and the rest of our family. I current am the Offensive Coordinator for the Wauwatosa West Trojans.

 “When you have great players, playing great, 

well that’s great football!”

– John Madden 

The core of this blog is as simple as a John Madden quote: What makes great football?

My goal is to answer that question through my philosophy, observations and the occasional spin on some fun facts. My hope is that this blog will both educate and entertain.
