THE COACHES
head coach
MATT JETER Simpson College marked a return to its roots when it hired Matt Jeter as head coach on April 1, 2016. A Simpson alum who helped the Storm to two Iowa Conference championships as a player, Jeter brings a renewed sense of focus the program as it makes a push back to the top of the league. The 2017 season marks Jeter’s second as head coach of the Simpson football team. He came to Indianola after a six-year stint at Central Missouri, the last five of which were spent as defensive coordinator. The Storm went 3-7 in Jeter’s first year at the helm, losing two games by a touchdown or less. Jeter’s defense was among the leaders in the Iowa Conference was the second-toughest in the league against the pass. Jeter was a two-year starter at cornerback for the Simpson football team from 199697, helping the Storm to a record of 22-2 and two trips to the NCAA Division III Playoffs. The 33rd head coach in program history, Jeter enjoyed a successful run as an assistant coach before taking over the Storm. Jeter was at NCAA Division II Central Missouri from 2010-15, starting out as the special teams coordinator and defensive backs coach before taking over as the defensive coordinator from 2011-15. Jeter helped Central Missouri to a 47-22 mark in his six seasons on staff, including three postseason appearances. The Mules won at least six games each season during Jeter’s tenure, highlighted by a record-setting 11-win season in 2010 when the Mules finished 11-3 and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Division II Playoffs. Central Missouri posted eight-win campaigns in 2011, 2014 and 2015, appearing in the Kanza Bowl in 2011 and win-

ning the Texarkana Bowl in 2014. The Mules went 8-3 last fall, narrowly missing a berth in the postseason. Jeter’s defenses consistently ranked among the best in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association. The Mules were third in total defense in 2015 (365.8 ypg), fifth in 2013 (391.6 ypg) and fourth in 2012 (365.8). His units had a knack for creating turnovers, generating 59 in the last two seasons, including a MIAA-leading 30 in 2014. In five years as defensive coordinator, Jeter’s teams allowed less than 23 points per game while 16 defensive players earned all-MIAA honors. Prior to joining the staff at Central Missouri, Jeter spent eight years as an assistant at NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision member Drake University. He served as the defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator for the Bulldogs, helping Drake win the Pioneer Football League title in 2004. He was the defensive coordinator in 2007, piloting a unit that led the PFL in redzone scoring and ranked fourth in the nation with 31 forced turnovers. Jeter helped the Bulldogs to six consecutive winning seasons from 2004-09, including a 10-2 mark in 2004, a 9-2 record in 2006 and an 8-3 mark in 2009. Jeter started at cornerback for head coach Jim Williams in 1996 and 1997, the most successful two-year period Simpson football history. The Storm won back-to-back Iowa Conference titles, going 10-1 in 1996 in 12-1 in 1997. Jeter was a team captain on the 1997 team that set a school record for wins in a season and made an appearance in the national semifinals. He also earned two letters as a member of the track and field team.
He transferred to Simpson from Iowa Central Community College, where he was a first team all-region selection and team captain as a sophomore in 1995. Jeter earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Simpson in 1998. He and his wife, Kimberly, have two sons: Jordan and Jayden.

HISTORY AND RECORDS
THE GLORY YEARS 1893
Simpson first organized a football team in 1892, but did not begin playing an intercollegiate schedule until 1893. During 1893, Simpson played a five-game schedule in which the squad compiled 174 points and went undefeated against Des Moines University and Drake (twice). Captained by Fletcher Homan, the team had no real coach; but student manager, Charles Cheney, a senior, is credited as being the first Simpson football coach.
1923
Under the direction of head coach Noel Workman, Simpson won the first Iowa Conference football title in 1923. After dropping the first game of the year to Iowa State, the Redmen won their next eight games, including five shutouts. The team, led by captain and All-Conference tackle Joe Meek, outscored the opposition 289-37 in the nine game. It was during this time that the legend of Kenneth “Moco” Mercer was born. Mercer scored 348 points and was named All-Conference at halfback three times (1923-35). He earned 15 letters in four different sports at Simpson (basketball, football, wrestling, and track) and later went onto a professional career with the Philadelphia Eagles before returning to coach at Simpson in the 1930s.
1924
Simpson won its second consecutive Iowa Conference title, going 8-0-1. Included in the eight victories were five shutouts, matching the total from the previous season. The Redmen won their first seven games before a 14-14 tie against Iowa Wesleyan on Nov. 21. Simpson ended the season the following week with a 6-0 victory over Nebraska Wesleyan. All-Conference selections included Kenneth Karr, Moco Mercer, Walter Officer, and Leslie Holiday.
1925
Simpson remained on top of the Iowa Conference standings in 1925, sharing the league title with Upper Iowa. Although Simpson lost two of its first three games, the Redmen recovered to post a 6-2-1 record. During the season, “Moco” Mercer set an Iowa Conference record for most points scored in a career with 285. That record stood until 1998 when it was broken by another Simpson running back, Guy Leman. Noel Workman left to become the head coach at Iowa State following the season, going 22-3-2 with three IIAC titles in three seasons.
1931
Although the nation was suffering from the grips of the Depression, there was no depression in Simpson football in the early 1930s. Simpson captured the Iowa Conference Championship in 1931 under the direction of first-year head coach Lloyd “Judd” Dean. The team put together a 7-3 record, remaining flawless in Iowa Conference action with a 6-0 mark. A key to the Redmen’s success was the play of fullback Edwin “Kink” Richards, who went on to sign with the NFL’s New York Giants.
1933
Simpson won the 1933 Iowa Conference title despite Iowa Wesleyan going undefeated in its six game schedule. Simpson won its second league crown in three years under the complicated “Stanley-Dean” system, which rated teams on the basis of strength of the schedule. Simpson went 7-2-1, going unbeatedn in conference play. Simpson played the first night game in school history on Oct. 6 against Central.
1934
The “Stanley-Dean” system led to a second-straight IIAC Championship in 1934 despite Simpson’s 3-2-1 record in the league. Because of the circumstances, writer Buck Turnbull stated in the history of the Iowa Conference book, “The conference did not recognize a championship team.” However, since the league had adopted the Stanley-Dean System, for the better or worse, Simpson is listed in the books as the 1934 Iowa Conference champion. The system was dropped in 1935.
1949
Simpson won its first conference title since 1934 by going 8-1 under third-year head coach R.G. “Hap” Miller. The lone loss was a 23-17 setback at Coe, but the Redmen won six straight to close the season. Backfield ace John Mills, tackle Bob Miller and fullback Jim Wright earned allconference honors. Miller went on to serve as head football coach for 10 years, going 34-47-3. Remembered fondly for his efforts in the physical education department, Miller had a successful stint as Simpson’s head baseball coach, taking the Redmen to the 1958 NAIA National Baseball Tournament.

2017 SIMPSON STORM FOOTBALL
1969
After finishing in second place the previous two seasons, Simpson ended a 20-year conference title drought by going 8-2 under fourth-year head coach John Sullivan. The Redmen boasted gutty 200-pound linemen, like Tom Powell and Dave Halford, who held their own against their 300-pound competition. Center Rich Heckman and tackles Jim Oplt and Perry Hunter provided big holes throughout the season while Indianola native Joe Blake, Sr., took the conference by storm. Simpson ended the regular season with a 30-7 win over William Jewell, ranked 10th in NAIA. Simpson went on to play in the Mineral Water Bowl, which ended in a 21-0 loss to St. John’s (Minn.). Sullivan earned NAIA Coach of the Year honors at season’s end.
1988
Going into the 1987 season, Simpson had experienced 14 losing seasons in 15 years, prompting the hiring of legendary high school coach, Jim Williams. It took just one year for the move to pay off, as the Redmen shocked the league by going 9-2 and a perfect 8-0 to win the IIAC. A junior transfer from Nebraska-Omaha named Ricky Gales won the rushing title with 1,301 yards and helped Simpson to its first-ever NCAA Playoff appearance, a 29-27 los to Wis.-Whitewater. In one of the biggest games in the school history, Simpson forced a missed extra point in the final seconds to beat Central 14-13. In just his second year, Williams was named IIAC Coach of the Year.
1989
Though the 1989 season didn’t produce a conference title thanks to a 54-30 loss to Central in the regular season finale, it did result in another trip to the postseason. An unstoppable Ricky Gales set NCAA Division III records for rushing (2,035 yards) and scoring (166 points) as Simpson went 8-3. Gales saved his best effort for last, rushing for a then all-divisions record 389 yards in a playoff loss to St. John’s (Minn.). The Redmen averaged 514 yards and 45.5 points per game and junior quarterback Joe Blake, Jr. led Division III in passing efficiency (203.3). Sophomore kicker Ned Greer led the nation in points by a kicker with 61, going 49-for-50 on extra point attempts.
1991
Jim Williams’ 1991 squad rolled to a 10-0 regular season record, the first undefeated regular season since 1893. A perfect 8-0 mark gave Simpson an IIAC Championship and a trip to the playoffs, where the Redmen lost to UW-La Crosse 28-13 at the UNI Dome. The 1991 Redmen defense was the best in school history, posting the No. 4 total defense in the country (183.5 yards per game) while allowing the seventh-fewest points (87). Led by Trent Nauholz and Rob Sinclair, the rushing offense ranked 13th in the nation (269.2 yards per game). Twelve players earned all-conference honors and Jim Williams was named the IIAC Coach of the Year.
1996
Simpson won its 10th IIAC football title with an unblemished 10-0 regular season mark, including 8-0 in the league. The program’s fourth trip to the NCAA Playoffs ended with a 21-18 loss to St. John’s, snapping a 13-game winning streak. Junior QB Brad Jorgensen was named IIAC MVP and Jim Williams earned Coach of the Year honors. Jorgensen threw for 1,953 yards and led the offense to a school record 459 points scored.
1997
Arguably the greatest season in school history, the 1997 Storm went 10-0 in the regular season, won the IIAC Championship and advanced to the semifinal round of the playoffs before losing to eventual-champion Mt. Union. The Storm won an exciting opening round game over Whitewater, getting the winning score on a 25-yard TD pass from Jorgensen to Corey Christensen with 36 seconds left. Simpson then went on to route Augsburg at home in the second round. Simpson set school records for total offense (6,829 yards), points (595), rushing yards (3,837), passing yards (2,931), first downs (295) and total plays (1,113). Jorgensen became the first player in IIAC history to win back-to-back MVP honors and Williams earned his fifth Coach of the Year accolade.
2003
The Storm went 9-1 and earned an at-large bid to the playoffs after finishing second in the IIAC. No. 20 Simpson lost a 26-20, double overtime heart-breaker No. 11 St. Norbert in the first round. Led by All-Americans Mike Donnenwerth (QB) and Dusty Kain (WR), the Simpson offense set school records for passing yards (3,540), attempts (422) and touchdowns (33). Donnenwerth set school marks for passing yards (3,461), attempts (413), and touchdowns (32). Kain set school records for receptions (93), yards (1,466) and TDs (14). Second-year head coach Jay Niemann’s defense generated 43 turnovers, led by All-American corner Kyle Westphal 10 INTs and six forced fumbles. Niemann took home IIAC Coach of the Year honors and Donnenwerth was named league MVP.

RICKY GALES
1988-89 • Running back
Deric “Ricky” Gales is arguably the finest running back ever to put on a Simpson uniform. After spending two years at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, the 6-1, 195-pound Des Moines native joined Simpson in time for the 1988 season. Gales led Simpson to its first Iowa Conference title in 19 years and was named first team All-Conference. Entering the 1989 season, Gales’ star was on the rise. He was selected as a preseason All-American by three different publications, the Football Gazette, Sporting News, and the College Football Preview. By the time the season ended, Gales would rewrite the record book and was named the National Small College Player of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He would later receive the AFCA’s Coaches Choice Award in January 1990. Aided by his high rushing statistics, Gales averaged 14.4 points per game during his career. He led Division III as a senior in both rushing (2,035 yards) and points (166). With Gales leading the way, Simpson led the nation in total offense (5,140 yards). Entering the 2017 season, Gales still holds the reocrd for most consecutive 200 yard games, rattling off eight to close the 1989 season. In what turned out to be his final collegiate game, Gales rushed for 389 yards in a 42-35 loss to St. John’s (Minn.) in the first round of the 1989 NCAA Division III playoffs. At the time, the yardage broke the record in all three NCAA Divisions, but did not count as an official NCAA record since it came during the playoffs. Gales owns the school record for rushing yards in a season and is second in career rushing yards despite playing just two seasons. He was named first team All-Conference in 1989 and became the first Simpson player to be named Iowa Conference MVP. He led the Simpson offense to IIAC records for most yards per game (528.5) and total offense (788, set against William Penn Sept. 23, 1989). Upon the conclusion of his career, Gales became the only football player in the history of the Simpson program to have his number retired. His jersey continues to hang in the hallway of the Cowles Athletic Complex, honoring his unparalleled accomplishments on the Simpson gridiron. Gales was inducted into Simpson’s Hall of Fame in 2004.

THE STORM
FACILITIES Steven Johnson Fitness Center The Steven Johnson Fitness Center opened to the Simpson community in January 2014, creating a first-class, comprehensive fitness complex located at the heart of campus. The $6 million project is highlighted by a two-tier workout facility consisting of a 5,500 square foot strength and conditioning center and a 4,500-square foot exercise and fitness center. The picturesque facility overlooks Buxton Stadium. In addition to the Fitness Center, the renovation included additional classroom and meeting space, administrative and academic suites, an expanded wrestling room, a cheer, dance and multipurpose room, a new Hall of Fame display, an exercise science and athletic training lab and a Swim Ex rehabilitation and therapy pool. Buxton Stadium The home for Storm football on Saturday afternoons since 1949, Buxton Stadium was named in honor of longtime Simpson and Indianola benefactor, William Buxton III ‘28 in 1998. The stadium was previously named Neff Field after L.N. Neff. The centerpiece of Simpson’s campus, the stadium seats 5,000 fans and features state-of-the-art playing surfaces. The track and turf inside the stadium were installed in the summer of 2011 and are unlike any other in the Midwest. The football field sports a FieldTurf Revolution playing surface, designed to be the highest performing and most innovative turf in the industry.
