Bio

Rob Linkhart joined the Tiger football coaching staff in 2001. After coaching the defensive backs for two years, Linkhart moved to running backs in 2003. In 2006, Linkhart moved back to the defensive side of the ball again, concentrating on the cornerback position, and he has since guided multiple all-conference honorees, including two-time first-teamer Brandyn Brown. In 2009, the versatile Linkhart heads back to offense again, this time guiding the Tigers' tight ends.

As the running backs coach in 2003, Linkhart helped develop Raymar Hampshire into one of the top players in the NCAC after two seasons as a fullback. Then in 2004 and 2005, Linkhart guided Tristan Murray to a pair of 1,000-yard rushing seasons.

A 1999 Wittenberg graduate with a degree in biology, Linkhart was a three-year letterwinner at defensive back and played on three NCAC championship teams. Linkhart resides in his native Springfield with his wife, Claire, a 2008 Wittenberg graduate, and teaches biology at Kenton Ridge High School.
