Alot of questions have been looming over the Muskego Hitmen organization ever since our head coach of 7 years Jason Blawat retired after the 09' season. I'll say it right off, without Jason as our head coach we would not have been as succesfull as we have been since our inception in 2003. 2 undefeated seasons, 7 playoff appearences, 3 conference championships, and 1 Ironbowl victory. Jason was a massive part of our success and there aren't words to say how thankfull I, as an owner appreciated his time and comitment to our team. Seven years is a long time to put in as much time and commitment as Jason has. Especially since durring that time he and his (Very understanding) wife Reannon brought three children into the world. So I can understand and respect Jasons' desision. and I myself want to tip my hat to him and wish him luck in the future. Thank you Jason for not only leading this team into so many victories, but also for being such a great friend and teacher. You will be missed. With that being said, the Hitmen will survive. I myself and a few others within the organization have not yet taken a break. When you are an owner in this league there is no off-season. There have been a lot of phone calls made and a lot of converstions had with potential coaches and players interested in becoming a part of the Hitmen in 2010. As of right now two key names will be added to our staff next year. One is Derrik Deihl, who has coached with the burlington Blue Devils for the past few seasons. Derrik brings with him great knowledge of the game, and unmatched commitment on and off the field. We are very excited to welcome derrik to our team. Next is Carter Robbins. Carter has spent the last few seasons with the Milwaukee venom as their head coach. Helping the Venom go from the basement of the league to strong contenders in the IFL. Making the playoffs this past year.(loosing to The Hitmen in the first round). Talking to Carter and knowing what he has done for the Venom. I feel confident that he will make a great fit with our club. He is extreamly organized, very knowledgable about the game of football and a great leader. I could think of nobody better to take over as head coach and offensive coardinator of the Muskego Hitmen. There are other irons in the fire right now as far as players and other coaches that are interested in coming over to our team. As soon as contracts are sighned and agreements are made these names will be made public. Untill then just know that the Hitmen are coming back in 2010 stronger than we ever have been talent wise and with some great coaches being put in place to help our team succeed. Now I'm not guranteeing chamionship YET, but the rest of the league should be scared if they see the Muskego Hitmen on thier 2010 schedule.
