SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Al Logan has been selected as Wittenberg University's new offensive coordinator, replacing Scott Isphording, who left the Tigers in December to become the quarterbacks coach at Eastern Michigan University.

Logan is an Ohio native and a 1982 Muskingum College graduate. A four-year letterwinner for the Muskies in football as an offensive lineman and in wrestling, Logan was team captain in football as a senior and team captain of the wrestling team his last two years. As a wrestler, Logan won more than 100 matches in his career and won the Ohio Athletic Conference championship in 1981 and 1982. He was selected Outstanding Wrestler of the 1982 OAC championship meet and was a two-time All-America in the sport.

He started his coaching career at Miami University in 1982 as an assistant wrestling coach. After earning a master's in physical education from Miami, he moved on to serve as defensive backs coach and assistant track and field coach at John Carroll University in 1983 and 1984. From 1984-98, Logan held numerous jobs at The University of South in Sewanee, Tenn., serving as head coach of the football, wrestling and track and field teams at various times. In addition, he served as weight room coordinator and as a physical education instructor.

At the University of the South, Logan coached seven NCAA track and field qualifiers, three of whom went on to earn All-America honors, and 76 all-conference athletes, and he was named Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1991 and 1992. He was defensive coordinator for teams that won conference titles in 1990 and 1992 and were ranked in the top10 nationally for total defense and points allowed. He was the team's head coach in 1994 when the University of the South Tigers were invited to play in the Bermuda Bowl.

In 1998, he moved to Davidson University to start an impressive five-year run with the NCAA Division I-AA scholarship football program. In 1998, Logan implemented the spread option offense that helped Davidson stretch its school-record run of winning seasons to six (through 2002). He was the offensive coordinator for two seasons and recruiting coordinator from 2000-03. Davidson did not have a losing season with Logan on the football coaching staff.

Logan and his wife, Patti, will move to Springfield with their sons, Nick and Cam. He is the second new coach on the Tiger staff for 2004, joining Scott Benzel, who came on board in December as defensive backs coach.
