Allegation Ends Coach’s Career
Former Minnesota State-Mankato head football coach Todd Hoffner’s career ended after being accused of producing and possessing child pornography. He’s fighting to get his reputation back:
“Hoffner and his lawyer held a news conference to address the judge’s decision. He wore a purple tie, the university color, and read a prepared statement about waking from a nightmare. But as he looked around the room, he was thinking more about all the things he might never get back:
“His team, which had gone 13–1 without him, earning Keen an award as regional coach of the year.
“His reputation, because a Google search for his name brought up images of him in an orange jumpsuit.
“His job, because the university said he was still under internal investigation and showed no signs of returning him to coaching.”
