Football's famous season: the 2004 Falcons

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

2004 · 10–4, Class 2A sectional and regional champions

The program's measuring season is a generation old and still the standard: the 2004 John Glenn football team finished 10–4 and won Class 2A sectional and regional championships — the deepest tournament run in the record reached for any Glenn team. The South Bend Tribune's telling, in its 21 April 2026 report of the program's new coaching hire, fixes the season's standing: Troy Sausaman, hired as head football coach in April 2026, is the seventh head coach since 2004 — six predecessors measured against the one autumn — and the program's last winning season before the hire was 7–5 in 2023. The 2004 season is carried here at the Tribune's strength: the record, the two titles, and the use the present makes of it.
