Kelsey Kroger: What is your hometown?

Joe Glenn:  Lincoln, Neb.

KK: What sports did you play in high school?

JG:  Basketball, baseball and quarterback of the

football team.

KK: What did you major in at University of South Dakota?

JG: Health, physical education and recreation.

KK: How did you get into coaching?

JG: I had three different majors while I was at USD. I started at business, went to journalism and then realized that my teachers and my coaches influenced my life. I realized that coaching was a chance for me to stay involved in the game that I had a passion for since I was 10 years old.

KK: What is your favorite part about coaching?

JG: I would have to say interacting with the coaches and players, and getting to know people. I love being at games and competitions, but when it’s all said and done you remember the players and coaches that you work with.

KK: Who is your favorite opponent?

JG: In my whole life, my archrival has been South Dakota State, Montana State, and North Dakota State (while I was at Northern Colorado). Anytime you have an archrival, that’s the team you like to play the most.

KK: What is your favorite sports stadium?

JG: Neyland Stadium at the University of Tennessee. While I was at the University of Wyoming, we played the Volunteers in front of 100,000 people and got the victory, now that was fun.

KK: What do you do to motivate your team?

JG: Out of the love for the game and their school and each other. I like to make them appreciate what they have as far as an athlete and playing college football.

KK: Do you have a favorite quote?

JG: “Big time is where you’re at.” I’ve always really enjoyed where I’m at. It doesn’t have to be Notre Dame or the Chicago Bears, I always put my heart and soul into the team I’m with.

KK: What is your favorite movie?

JG: My favorite movie is either “Castaway” or “Shawshank Redemption.”

KK: What is your favorite part of USD?

JG: The people.

KK: Who or what gives you inspiration?

JG: My wife and my children all give me the inspiration to do what I do, and throughout my lifetime, my family and coaches and the players whom I coach.

KK: Who is your favorite athlete?

JG: When I was at USD, New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath and George Brett from the Kansas City Royals. I also have a lot of respect for John Elway, one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play.

KK: If you could coach any other sport what would it be?

JG: Softball.
