Coach Dan George joins Coach Bailey in their 17th season together with the Tigers. Coach George has a unique connection to the program as he was head coach at Jordan College, and recruited, signed, and coached the Tigers’ head coach Gary Bailey in 1978-82. The two have remained friends over the years and Bailey knew who to turn to for assistance when he took over the helm of the Tigers in 2005. In the 16 years the two have been together at Grace, the Tigers have won six national championships and 13 regional championships. In 2017, Coach George was honored by the NCCAA with the Game Plan 4 Life Award, the highest award given to an athletic staff member in the country, recognizing Excellence, Love, Integrity, and Faith.
Dan has a B.A. in History from Hartwick College, a M.A. in Education from Michigan State University, and is a certified professional life coach. He recently retired from his full-time position as the Superintendent at Creative Technologies Academy in Cedar Springs, MI, where he lives with his wife, Debi. They have five children, Heather, Richard, Jamie, Dani, and Hunter, and 11 grandchildren
