He built a Utah high school football dynasty. Now he’s upping the stakes

Former Corner Canyon High coach Eric Kjar became a prep football coaching legend. Can he achieve similar results at the college level?

He built a Utah high school football dynasty. Now he’s upping the stakes

Eric Kjar, a 47-year-old former high school football coach, has taken on the challenge of becoming the head coach of a Division I football team at Weber State. Kjar, who has a record of 112-10 in his 22 years of high school coaching, made the rare jump from high school to college football. He has brought in more than 70 new players to a program that had only won 10 games in the last three seasons.

Kjar will wait until his youngest son graduates from Corner Canyon before he moves to Ogden. His wife Andrea describes his approach as always being "head down, work hard, discipline."
