Well, Brian Sauser’s oldest son Dodge was recruited by Iowa State and will be attending ISU this fall, so that makes sense. His younger son Dallas was starting QB for Grinnell as both a freshman and sophomore, so guess who has an inside track for the Ames QB job (if this is an accurate rumor).
His father was the long time coach at North Mahaska and was very successful, I heard from a very reliable source that he wanted that job when his dad retired, but there was no way they were hiring. He was hired at Cardinal and Central Lee and has been less than stellar at either one.
He never seems to stay in one place very long. Curious to see who their candidates are
He turned the Grinnell program around. He will turn the Ames program around. He knows how to run a football program. Grinnell is in a pinch and he will be tough to replace. If his son has good receivers in Ames they will light it up as he is excellent. I've heard the biggest difference between him and his predecessor was the establishment and improvement of a strength and conditioning program.

Sauser has been a winner, but yeah, he’s kind of a vagabond. After several good years at Iowa City West, he took an assistant job in Oklahoma. A few years later, in the spring he agreed to take the head job at West Burlington, but then he bailed on that job just before the season started to go back south for another assistant job. He got Grinnell turned into a pretty good team by last season - a solid contender in their district plus a shutout win over Pella in the playoffs.
Running up the score & not being popular with other coaches, yes, that kind of reputation has been with him ever since he was at IC West, at least.

Well his son will have to ride the pine this year because Tamin Lipsey is the QB for Ames and I have a hard time believing that the power 5 athlete will be unseated from his starting job
Assuming Lipsey goes out for football. It's my understanding that he almost didn't this last fall not to mention they have a to be sophomore that is very talented. All that said I highly doubt he benches his kid which could result in a very rocky start at Ames. It will be interesting to see how that all plays out.
He almost didn’t because he was recovering from a torn Acl, he’s a competitor and I would be extremely surprised to not see him playing the sport this fall
there are other positions where they could use an athlete like Lipsey or even his son if he’s a good athlete. Don’t know either but I’m guessing he’d find a spot. If not, then it’s not a good look for him not to be a team player and going D1.
"Regina didn’t wait long to find its new head football coach announcing a familiar face as the leader of its storied program.
Regina announced in a release on Wednesday that long-time assistant coach Jason Dumont would be named interim head coach pending board approval.
Dumont takes over for Marv Cook who announced on May 27 he was stepping down after leading Regina to seven state titles in 14 seasons as head coach."

There’s an immediate opening in Oskaloosa, thanks to Jake Jenkins resigning after news of his “unwanted advances“ towards a 19-year-old former student.
