Ed Hottle
|
Hottle, the first head football coach at Stevenson, previously served as the head football coach and assistant athletics director at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. He joined Gallaudet in July 2005, amassing a 27-20 record in five seasons from 2005-09, during which he led the Bison back to NCAA Division III status in 2007.
In 2009, Hottle was selected by his peers as the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) Coach of the Year after leading Gallaudet to a 6-4 record and a second-place finish. The Bison also ranked 10th in the nation in total defense and ninth in rushing offense.
Known as a program-builder, Hottle describes himself as "a firm believer in the fundamentals, discipline, and positive attitude" while focusing on "relentless recruiting and retention."
These skills will be essential as he works to establish Stevenson's program by recruiting student athletes for a developmental season to start in fall 2010 with the plan of beginning intercollegiate competition in fall 2011.
During his tenure, Gallaudet's athletic programs experienced tremendous growth. He is deeply committed to the NCAA Division III ethic as demonstrated by his student-athletes' academic performances. Each year during his tenure, the Bison raised their overall team grade point average.
In the fall of 2005, Hottle put the Bison through a rigorous developmental season, posting a 9-0 record. In 2007, he led Gallaudet back into NCAA Division III status as the team posted a 4-6 record with their toughest schedule in over 15 years. Gallaudet defeated two Division III teams, the first-time the Bison won a game as a Division III school since 1991.
That same season, Hottle served as the defensive coordinator and had two players ranked nationally in various defensive categories. Rantz Teeter was sixth in the nation in interceptions while Robin Shannon finished ninth in tackles for a loss and 10th in sacks. That marked the first-time in school history two players were ranked in the top 10 of the NCAA statistics in the same season.
With Hottle at the helm, Gallaudet has been featured in various national television media outlets including ESPN, The Washington Post and others. He also served as a consultant to ESPN's Sal Palantonio on his book How Football Explains America.
Hottle is a graduate of Frostburg State where he earned his bachelor's in physical education in 1999 and master's in education in 2001. While at FSU, he began as a football intern with the Bobcats before spending two seasons as defensive line coach in 1999 and 2000.
In 2001, Hottle worked as the defensive coordinator and head strength and conditioning coach at Denison before serving as the linebackers and defensive line coach at CAC rival Wesley from 2002-04 where he worked under head coach Mike Drass.
Prior to his tenure at Gallaudet, Hottle served as the head coach at Calvert High School in Prince Frederick.
Hottle and his wife Ashley reside in Lothian and have three children, Madalynn, Wyatt and Cole. They are expecting their fourth child in February.

Correll played in 40 career games and had a catch in 32 of those, finishing his career with at least one reception in his last 18.
Following his graduation, Correll spent two seasons at Park View High School in Sterling, Virginia, including one as the team's offensive coordinator in 2006 when the Patriots finished with a 9-2 record and the second of two-straight Dulles District championships. Park View averaged 31.1 points and 362.5 yards per game en route to earning the number two seed in the Virginia 2A state playoffs.
Correll was the Patriots' wide receivers and defensive backs coach in 2005 where he mentored two-time all-district, all-region and all-state selection Deric Dudinski who was also the 2006 Virginia 2A Player of the Year.
In three seasons at Shepherd, Correll mentored four All-WVIAC selections and helped guide the Rams to a 21-11 overall record, including a mark of 10-2 in 2007 when the team won its 16th WVIAC championship and made its ninth appearance in the NCAA Division II Football Championship.
Shepherd finished 2007 ranked at No. 13 in the final AFCA Division II Coaches' Poll after advancing to the regional championship game.

Rich Bader

After 39 seasons as a member of the coaching staff at Division I
Towson, including the last seven as the Associate Head Coach, Bader
begins his first season at Stevenson in 2010.
Bader joined the Tigers’ football staff in 1970 and was the
only coach to have worked for all three of Towson’s first
three head coaches, Carl Runk, Phil Albert and Gordy Combs.
In 1970, he joined the Tiger staff as the offensive line coach for
Runk and worked for him in 1970 and 1971. When Albert became the
Tigers’ head coach in 1972, he began a long tenure with Coach
Albert, serving as an assistant coach for each of his 20 seasons as
the Tigers’ head coach.
When Combs was named as the Tigers’ head coach in 1992,
Bader immediately became the new coach’s most trusted
assistant. In 1997, Combs named him as the Tigers’ defensive
coordinator. In 2001, he was promoted to the role of Associate Head
Coach.
From 1970 to 1986, Coach Bader served as the Tigers’
offensive line coach. In 1974, he helped the Tigers post a perfect
10-0-0 record for their first and only undefeated season. In 1976,
he helped the Tigers reach the NCAA Division III championship game,
the Stagg Bowl.
For the first ten years that he was an assistant coach at Towson,
Bader worked as a part-time coach. In addition to his football
duties with the Tigers, he was a faculty member at Bay College in
Baltimore for six years. In addition to his teaching duties in the
Business Department, Coach Bader also served as the chairman of the
Department of Recreation. After Bay College closed it doors in
1978, he held a position in the Department of Financial Aid at
Towson until he became a full-time member of the coaching staff in
1981.
From 1979 to 1986, Coach Bader played a vital role in the
Tigers’ rise to prominence in the ranks of NCAA Division II
football. In the Tigers’ eight years in Division II, he
helped the team compile a record of 60-28-2 while making three NCAA
playoff appearances. The Tigers also won the Lambert/Meadowlands
award as the top Division II team in the East in 1983, 1984 and
1986.
For 11 years, he also served as the coordinator for the National Football Clinic in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In his role as the Tigers’ offensive line coach, the New
Hyde Park, N.Y. native worked with a number of prominent linemen,
including four All-Americans. Offensive center Greg Boller earned
All-American honors in 1982 while offensive guard Terrance Brooks
was a two-time
All-American, earning the honor in 1983 and 1984. Brooks is now
the head football coach at Kalamazoo College.
A first team All-American in 1985, Stan Eisenhooth went on to play
three seasons in the NFL, two with the Seattle Seahawks and one
season with the Indianapolis Colts.
In 1986, offensive center John Gaburick was also named as an
All-American.
When the Tigers moved up to NCAA Division I-AA status in 1987,
Coach Albert moved Coach Bader to the other side of the ball as the
Tigers’ defensive line coach.
In 1997, the Tigers joined the Patriot League and Coach Bader was
named as the team’s defensive coordinator. In that role, he
coached All-American defensive end Andrew Hollingsworth.
In the 2000 season, Hollingsworth was named as the Patriot
League’s Player of the Year as the Tiger defense finished
11th nationally.
A 35-year member of the American Football Coaches Association,
Coach Bader was honored by the Baltimore Touchdown Club as the 2002
winner of its Service To Football award.
A 1969 graduate of Central Connecticut, he began his coaching career at an early age. After two injury-plagued seasons as an offensive lineman, he retired as a player. His coaching career started in 1968 when he was a student assistant coach for Bill Loika.
After earning his B.A. degree in Business Administration from Central Connecticut, he was an assistant coach at Western Connecticut for one year.
Coach Bader is one of many Central Connecticut alumni who have
gone on to enjoy very productive coaching careers. In fact, Dave
Campo, ’73 and Mike Sherman, ’78 have been head coaches
in the National Football League. Currently the assistant head coach
of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Campo was the head coach of the Dallas
Cowboys from 2000 to 2002. Sherman, who is now the head coach at
Texas A&M, was the head coach of the Green Bay Packers from
2000 to 2004. In addition, Al Bagnola, the head coach at
Pennsylvania, is also a Central Connecticut graduate.

State, recruits northern New Jersey and metropolitan New York.
Locally, he recruits the MIAA schools, as well as all junior
colleges and prep schools.
