Craig Stern is in his fifth season (in 2008) as the recruiting coordinator and defensive backs coach. Much of the Oles' recruiting success over the past four-plus years is due to Stern's efforts - which have boasted the largest rosters in school history.
Stern came to St. Olaf after a five-year stint at Concordia-St. Paul. At Concordia-St. Paul, Stern was the defensive coordinator. The Golden Bears' defense was ranked fourth nationally when they captured a NSIC title in 2003. Stern was the assistant offensive coordinator at Dana College from 1997-1999, and was an assistant coach at Kimball High School in 1996. A graduate of St. Cloud State University, Stern, his wife Tara and son Caden live in St. Paul Park.
