MOUNT ALLISON FOOTBALL MOUNTIES COACHING STAFF
|
KELLY JEFFREY |
Coach Jeffrey is no stranger to Mount Allison after having been the quarterbacks coach, an offensive co-ordinator, and the special teams co-ordinator with the ever-improving Mounties for the past two seasons (2006-2007). During his time as assistant coach with the Football Mounties, the team returned to the playoffs. They were guided by an explosive and exciting offence, and boasted the conference’s number-one passer in total yards (7th nationally).
They also intrigued the country’s football fans with the nation’s top All-Canadian kick and punt returner. Jeffrey knows that his Mounties have been knocking on the door of success in the conference, and is extremely excited about the prospects for next season. “I am excited about leading the Mounties into the 2008 football season. With my appointment as head coach we are able to solidify recruiting, maintain continuity in our coaching staff, and continue with the philosophies that have turned Mount Allison football into a contender in the AUS football conference.”
Jeffrey came to Mount Allison after being the head coach and offensive co-ordinator at Mayville State University (MSU) in North Dakota for four years (2002-2005). During those four seasons his team set numerous offensive records for most yards per game and total yards in a season, and he coached the all-time single season record holders for individual rushing, receiving, completions, and passing yards. Overall the school set nine offensive records while producing five Don Hanson All-Americans.
Before MSU in 2001, Jeffrey coached quarterbacks at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and at the University of San Diego (1998-2000) where he trained three all-conference quarterbacks in his three seasons and coached the all-time leading passer in touchdowns, completions, and yardage. He also coached running backs at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD (1996-1997) and wide receivers at North Dakota’s Dickinson State University (1994-1995), a team that finished with a perfect 10-0 season in 1995, and were conference champions in both 1994 and 1995.
Jeffrey has his Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Dickinson State University, and his Master’s degree in health, physical education and recreation from Northern State University in Aberdeen.
Kelly is married to wife Cathy and they have two children, daughter Alexandra and son Drew.
