Biography

Coach Goltz is one of the most successful coaches in the history of NebraskaEightManFootball. In his four decades of coaching the Irish, he has amassed an unparalleled career record of 307 wins and only 53 losses (an .852 winning percentage). During that span, his teams have qualified for the playoffs a record 32 straight years and have won 8 state titles. His six consecutive undefeated championship seasons from 1989 to 1994 (including a state record 87 wins in a row) are famously known as “The Streak”. Between the winning streak, the state titles, and his team’s long-term success in the playoffs, Coach Goltz’s Sacred Heart Program has come to define the word “Football Dynasty”. Over the years, he has sent nearly 40 of his players to represent the Irish in the Eight Man All-Star Game. Doug was also named as an All-Star assistant coach in 1992 and head coach in 1995. He was then selected as head coach of the Nebraska vs. Oklahoma All-Star game in 2005 and has been named state “Coach of the Year” on multiple occasions. The NEMFCA is honored to now welcome him to his rightful place in the Eight Man Football Hall of Fame Class of 2019.
