List of Bethany Swedes head football coaches

Hall of Fame coach Bennie Owen got his start at Bethany from 1902 to 1904. His teams accumulated a record of 22 wins, 6 losses, and 2 ties.

The Bethany Swedes football program (historically known as the "Terrible Swedes") is a college football team that represents Bethany College in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, a part of the NAIA. The team has had 17 head coaches on record since its first recorded football game in 1893.[1]

The current head coach is Paul Hubbard. Hubbard was named to the position after the conclusion of the 2014 season and the departure of Manny Matsakis.[2] Matsakis was hired in March 2013[3] to replace Jamie Cruce who first took the position for the 2006 season and resigned after completion of the 2012 season.[4][5]

The two most successful coaches in terms of winning percentage are Bennie Owen and Ted Kessinger, both who have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[6][7]
