Greene County high school is looking for a new head football coach. Dean Lansman resigned the position recently after five years as head coach, one as co-coach, and several more as an assistant. He began when the program was known as Jefferson-Scranton/Paton-Churdan, and is the only head coach the Greene County program has known in its five seasons. Lansman is an East Greene graduate who will remain as Activities Director, boys’ track & field head coach, and science teacher.

Lansman told Raccoon Valley Radio that when he took the A.D. position three years ago, there was sentiment among the Superintendent and some School Board members that at some point his coaching load be lightened. He told Raccoon Valley Radio that after much deliberation, he decided that time was now. His son Logan, was a senior last Fall, and the elder Lansman said the graduating class of 2017 holds a special place in his heart.

The former head coach is still the A.D., so he will be involved in the search for his successor, which is underway.

Greene County was 1-8 last season with a relatively young team playing in Class 3A District 2, which was widely considered as one of the deepest in its class with five very quality programs. District champion Webster City finished as the 3A State runner-up to three-time Champion Pella.
