🐺A new era begins.
Today, Saint Francis University officially unveiled the Red Wolves—our new athletics identity as we prepare for the transition to NCAA Division III competition in Fall 2026.
Rooted in the Franciscan story of the Wolf of Gubbio, the Red Wolves embody courage, compassion, community, and strength through unity. While we look ahead to the future, the spirit of the Red Flash lives on, woven into the new logo as a tribute to the generations who built our proud athletics tradition.
The Flash ignited the legacy. The Pack carries it forward.
Welcome to the next chapter of Saint Francis Athletics.

The best coaching staffs I’ve been around had this in common:
They genuinely liked being around each other. They could laugh together, hang out together, and talk football for hours.
Yet they still respectfully disagree in a meeting and then walk out aligned. That kind of trust matters, and it’s not easy to build. It takes time and effort.
A strong football program talks about more than football.
Mental health matters. Make it part of your character or leadership building curriculum.
Bring in:
🧠 mental health clinicians
🧠 nonprofit organizations
🧠 guest speakers
🧠 people kids can connect with
Or lead it yourself. Keep the conversation going and keep checking on your players.
And learn their normal… because sometimes noticing a change early matters more than we realize.
One of the best things to see as a coach:
Driving by your field and seeing players getting extra work in on their own.
No one told them to be there, no whistle, or practice schedule.
That’s always so rewarding. 👊
