MEET THE COACH SHANNON GRIFFITH

Learn about Coach Shannon Griffith and the Hoosier Football Tailgate Podcast covering Hoosier Football.

Shannon Griffith, also known as Coach Griff, has had a successful career in college football. With over 20 years of experience, Coach Griff has become a respected figure in the sport. He has coached at various colleges, including MAC School Ball State University, where he coached the Quarterbacks under former Indiana Head Coach Bill Lynch from 1994- 2002. Coach Griff was a part of 2 Mid-American Conference Championships at Ball State, first in 1989 as a player and 1996 as a coach. His leadership and expertise have impacted the players he has coached and the entire football community. Coach Griff's dedication to the sport and his ability to mentor and develop young talent has impacted the game. His passion for football and his commitment to excellence have been evident throughout his career, leading him to be voted by his fellow coaches as the Heartland Colligate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2012, leading the Manchester University Spartans to a 2nd Place finish and a 6-2 conference record. He continues to be an influential figure in college football, and his Offenses at Manchester hold several records and are among the best in the HCAC. Griffith’s son, Isaac, played for Indiana as a wide receiver under Kevin Wilson. Still, his career was cut short after he suffered a significant knee injury versus Penn State in Happy Valley. Coach Griff created and hosted The Hoosier Football Tailgate for the BLEAV Network, but The Hoosier Tailgate has moved to TheHoosier.com, where CoachGriff is the lead analysis. You can hear him on Indiana Sports Radio with Jim Coyle every Thursday on Sports Radio Stations throughout the Hoosier State.

Coach Griff is an amazing coach who truly cares about his players and their success on and off the field. His podcast I have found to be insightful and educational with his utiliziation of game video to breakdown opponents or reflect on the Hoosiers last game. #GoHoosiers
