In this episode of The Always A Raven podcast, host Janelle Menz sits down with Larry Wilcox '72—legendary coach, devoted alumnus, and one of the most accomplished figures in NAIA football history.
Coach Wilcox reflects on his remarkable 41-year career leading the Benedictine Ravens, from his humble beginnings in 1979—when he juggled roles as head football and baseball coach, residence hall director, intramurals coordinator, and classroom instructor—to his final season in 2020. Along the way, he racked up over 300 career wins, eight Heart Championships, and a National Championship appearance in 2018.
But this conversation goes beyond the numbers. It’s a look at a life dedicated to a community, a campus, and the young men he’s coached over four decades. Whether you're a Raven fan or just love a good story about loyalty, leadership, and legacy—this one’s for you.
