Tennessee Tech Football Sets New Standard

Tennessee Tech football has established a new benchmark for success, concluding its most historic season with 11 wins. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for the program, despite a recent playoff defeat.

Second-year coach Bobby Wilder has set ambitious goals, stating the team's new standard is to be a top-10 program and compete for national championships. He emphasized that the work to surpass the current record-setting team begins immediately, aiming for higher playoff seeding and a first-round bye in the upcoming season.

The Golden Eagles are set to navigate a new landscape as they move to the Southern Conference. Their recent success in the Big South/Ohio Valley Conference, including an undefeated league record in 2025, provides a strong foundation for this transition. Coach Wilder remains focused on maintaining these elevated goals, regardless of the conference.
