For Immediate Release…
MACKINAW, IL
Dee-Mack High School is proud to
announce that Job Linboom will be the new Head Football Coach for the Chiefs
this Fall. Linboom replaces Hall of Fame
Coach, Jim McDonald who is retiring this year. Coach Linboom graduated from Aledo High School
in 1993. At Aledo he was a two-time
first team All-Olympic Conference linebacker and went on to play the same
position at Blackburn
College, a NCAA Division-III
school. At Blackburn,
Linboom was a team captain in his senior year in which the team advanced to the
state semi-finals before losing to eventual champ Richmond-Burton. Linboom also served in the Illinois Army
National Guard from 1991-1998 as a forward observer for a field artillery
unit.
Upon graduation from college, Linboom returned to his alma mater and
was an assistant coach for Cullen Welter during his first year at Aledo in
1998. That year, Aledo won their first
state championship and Linboom had the privilege of coaching an undefeated
freshman team that would go on to win a state championship of its own in
2001. In 1999, Alexis
hired Linboom as their head football coach.
Alexis and Warren
consolidated and won a state title in 2004. “Working as an assistant the last
two years at United has been good for me as it has made me a better, more
well-rounded coach”, reports Linboom. “For
the last year I've been planning for my next head coaching job, and I truly
believe Dee-Mack was the best
opportunity in the entire state. I've
been very impressed with the people I've met so far, and to be honest with you,
I wish the school year was over so I could be in Mackinaw right now. I'm very excited about my future at Dee-Mack and can't wait to get to work”.
Linboom graduated from Blackburn
College with a degree in History and
will teach Social Science at Dee-Mack
High School in addition
to his coaching responsibilities.
