Elk River Elks Eyeing Experienced Coordinator Hire
Elk River Elks head coach, Chad Stensrud, is reportedly looking to bolster his staff with a seasoned defensive coordinator. Sources close to the program indicate that Stensrud is targeting a veteran coach with at least 10 years of experience, preferably someone with a strong track record of developing defensive schemes. The Elks' 2025 campaign was marked by a 7-4 record, with a disappointing 1-2 showing in the Section 8-6A playoffs. A successful hire could help the program build on its momentum and attract top recruits, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. If the coordinator departs, the Elks could face a significant loss, as they are heavily reliant on the unit's production, with 85% of their sacks and 75% of their interceptions coming from returning players.
