Jamie Cruce - Head Coach - 4th Season
Jamie Cruce took over as head football coach for the Swedes following the 2006 season.
During his first year at the helm, Cruce and the Swedes tripled their win total from the previous season as they had their best record since the 2002 season. A fourth-place finish was in sharp contrast to the preseason polls, which had Bethany picked to finish last in the KCAC.
Cruce is a 1998 graduate of Bethany College. He holds a master's in physical education from Northern State University (NSU). Cruce graduated from Salina South High School in 1994 and played linebacker at Hutchinson Community College before transferring to Bethany. He was a linebacker on the 1995 and 1996 KCAC championship teams, captained the 1997 team and earned All-KCAC honors. Cruce's three year playing record while at Bethany was 25-5 including a 22-2 conference record.
Prior to his current appointment, Cruce served as Bethany's Defensive Coordinator for six seasons. During that time, Cruce led 30 defensive players to All-Conference honors. In addition to his football duties, Cruce served as the school's Intramural Director.
Before returning to Bethany College in 2001, Cruce spent one season at Northern State University in Aberdeen, SD as Linebackers Coach. He served as Linebackers coach and Strength and Conditioning Coordinator at Anderson University in Anderson, IN prior to his appointment at NSU.
Cruce is married to Amy (Jacobs) Cruce of Cheyenne Wells, Colo. Cruce has three children, Dillon, Ava and Austin.
