Here is part of a story from the Argus Leader
Nowhere to go but up
The fear of losing translates easily into the fear of not meeting expectations. It is one area where the Sturgis Scoopers need not make things more complicated than they already are.
"You can't go into every job knowing you're going to take a step in the right direction," said Adolph Shepardson, a former Sturgis football standout who will be the rookie head coach of the Scoopers this fall. "You can in this one."
Shepardson, a former starting receiver at South Dakota State University who was serving as an assistant down the road at the University of South Dakota when the Sturgis position opened up, left a job with a college program that went 9-2 to take over a team on an 0-for-68 slide.
In doing so, he passed one of Peterson's big tests: He obviously doesn't fear losing.
"It's a pride thing," he said. "I don't want my town to be a so-called laughing stock. I feel I'm a good enough coach to go back there and get things changed."
Good luck to Adolph
