Mandan Braves Head Coach Targeted by College Program
Mandan Braves head coach, Joe Smith, is reportedly being pursued by a top-tier college football program, sources close to the situation have confirmed. Smith, who has been at the helm of the Braves since 2018, has compiled an impressive 44-12 record, including back-to-back AA state championships in 2022 and 2023. His tenure has also seen a significant increase in recruiting efforts, with multiple top prospects committing to the program under his guidance. If Smith were to depart, it would likely send shockwaves through the AA ranks and potentially impact the Braves' chances of repeating as state champions. The college program, which has not been named, is believed to be offering Smith a significant salary increase and a chance to coach at the next level.
