Coach Kirchoff returns for his fifth season coaching Bethel’s quarterbacks. A four-year starter for the Royals, Kirchoff set numerous conference and team passing records while leading the Royals to three national playoff appearances. Kirchoff holds career passing records for attempts (1,041), yards (8,108), completions (636), and touchdowns (65). A three-time All-MIAC selection, Kirchoff is also the 3rd all-time MIAC leader in passing yards (6,645). His caring heart, will to give, and leadership skills will bolster the Bethel program. Kirchoff has recently spent time in Texas as part of an adult ministry training program and the past few summers as a white water rafting guide in Colorado. After receiving NFL interest and Arena League tryouts in Texas, Kirchoff has focused his attention on coaching.
Kirchoff, a 2003 Bethel grad, holds a degree in secondary history education and works for the Bethel admissions office with transfer students.
