Lynn takes reins of WTAMU football

West Texas A&M Director of Athletics Michael Mc-Broom announced that Josh Lynn has been hired as the 29th head coach in Buffalo Football history.

Lynn was introduced at a press conference this past Friday at the Fairly Group Club at Bain-Schaeffer Buffalo Stadium.

Lynn, widely regarded as one of the nation’s up-andcoming head coaches, comes to WTAMU following six seasons at the University of Nebraska-Kearney where he led the Lopers to an overall record of 35-25 including a run to the Second Round of the 2021 NCAA Division II Playoffs. Lynn coached 61 allconference selections during his time in Kearney while being named the MIAA Coach of the Year in 2021.

While at Kearney, the team became a national contender with three winning seasons including 18 victories over the last two years. UNK also excelled in the classroom during his tenure, placing 188 student-athletes on the MIAA Academic Honor Roll.

Prior to taking the reins at UNK, Lynn spent five seasons at rival Eastern New Mexico University where he directed the turnaround of his alma mater, which had not had a winning season since 2004 prior to his arrival. He led the Greyhounds to 27 victories including a pair of C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl appearances and a share of the 2013 Lone Star Conference Title.
