Welcome Coach Mike Gravier


Bluefield College's search for a football coach is over. It was announced on Friday that Mike Gravier will be re-starting our program. Mike has been in the coaching business since 1988, both on the high school and collegiate levels. He also knows what it is like to start a football program with starting one at Malone University.


Mike and his family have spent the past 8 years on the mission field working with Christian Outreach International in Florida and they are currently working with Heaven Sent Ministries in neighboring Princeton, West Virginia.


Mike has hardly been off the football field since going into the mission field. With Christian Outreach International he has taken teams overseas to start up football leagues in Mexico, Czech Republic and Ukraine. Since moving to Princeton, Mike has taken an assistant coaching position at Concord University.


We are excited to have Mike with us and we look forward to the first collegiate football game since 1941 in about 770 some odd days!
