CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – First-year offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator Mike Simmonds has a love for teaching and coaching that he wants to pass along to this year's group of UNI Panthers.
"I want to give back to the game," Simmonds said. "I want to help young men overachieve and reach their goals."
Simmonds credits his love of coaching football to the men who coached him from high school all the way to the National Football League. Simmonds played for high school coach Bruce Arnold, college coach Pete Hoener and professional coaches Alex Gibbs and Larry Bechtel.
