Texas Lutheran coach Carl Gustafson retires after three seasons

Texas Lutheran coach Carl Gustafson is retiring from coaching after three years with the program and 35 years overall. TLU will internally promote defensive coordinator Ricky Matt to the head position. 

"My heart is full because of the guys on the team these past three seasons," said Gustafson. "I have been truly privileged to call myself their head coach. Football teams are always measured by wins and losses, and this team has made us proud in that regard, but I am most proud and most rewarded by how these young men handle themselves off the field and in the classroom. I will miss the players dearly."
