Congrats to Coach Patke and Coach Banda

Let’s Congratulate Coach Jonathan Patke and Coach Ephraim Banda for being selected to be on staff at Mississippi St. under Head Coach Dan Mullen.  If you’re a big college football fan, you know as well as I do that the Bulldogs had a successful season in the toughest division of College Football, the SEC West.  Finishing 2nd in their division with a 10-3(6-2 Conference) record and a berth in the Orange Bowl.

Coach Patke was on staff with UIW from 2011-2012, as a Graduate Assistant on Defense coaching defensive line then in 2012 was moved to coaching Linebackers.

Coach Banda was on staff with UIW in 2011 as a Student Coach coaching Strong Safeties.  The story was reported on January 31st via UIW Football’s Twitter Account.

Let’s wish these fine gentlemen the best at Mississippi St. and in their future endeavors.
