History
lucas95 era (2018-2019)
After spending a season as offensive coordinator at Ohio State under head coach Dean_Craig_Pelton, lucas95 decided to become a head coach and took over the newly formed Blue Raiders. The Blue Raiders did not have a hot start for their program, going 2-20 during the first two seasons. lucas95 decided to jump to Minnesota after the 2019 season.
shibe era (2020)
In 2020, the Blue Raiders took a different offensive approach and became an air raid team under new head coach shibe. This different style did not produce a different result as they finished the season 1-11.
Fenix era (2021)
Fenix took over in 2021 becoming the third head coach in four seasons for the Blue Raiders. He amassed a program record 3 wins in his first season and looks to compound upon that in the 2022 season.
RAD Hypnotiq era (2022)
RAD Hypnotiq quickly took over as head coach for the Blue Raiders after coach Fenix unexpectedly retired. He helped lead Middle Tennessee to a 2-6 record before being fired heading into week 12.
Oklahomasucks era (2022)
After a disappointing start to the 2022 season, the Blue Raiders hired new head coach Oklahomasucks midseason in hopes of turning the program and season around. The Blue Raiders hope to find consistency with Oklahomasucks, as he is the 5th coach in only 5 years.
