In 2008 he was awarded the NCAA Division III Co-Region Four Coach of the Year award after leading Trine to a 10-0 regular season.[1] In April 2012, Land was named the Athletic Director at Trine.[2]
Land was also the head coach for the United Indoor Football league's Fort Wayne Freedom in 2005,[3] and Fort Wayne's South Side High School from 2002 to 2005, each year he built up the team a little bit more until his last year in 2005 when he coached the team to its winningest season ever, including a sectional championship victory over traditional power house Bishop Dwenger High School, a regional victory over Delta High School and eventually to the semi-state game where the Archers lost to the Lowell Devils who went on to win the state title. He is a loving husband and amazing father.
He was also the wrestling coach for Northrop High School. Land was the center of a rebuilding process at South Side High School, in which he built a team that was 7-20 in 3 years prior to his arrival, and a 21-11 record in the following 3 seasons.
