On this episode of Hansen Ratings D3 Coach and Coordinators of the Week, presented by Tully, hosts Logan and John highlight three standout leaders from the Division III football ranks — each representing the discipline, preparation, and culture that define championship programs.

First, Jeff Whitehead, OC at Hardin-Simmons University (TX), shares how adaptability in practice structure, competitive “good-on-good” sessions, and a strong team culture drive offensive excellence.

Next, Mason Tomblin, DC at the College of Wooster (OH), discusses the value of consistent, purposeful practice and the crucial role his staff and student assistants play in maintaining defensive sharpness throughout the week.

Finally, Brad Spencer, HC of North Central College (IL) reflects on the foundation of his team’s success — from player retention and senior leadership to promote a brotherhood that values every individual’s contribution.

Together, these conversations capture the mindset and habits that elevate Division III football programs both on and off the field.
