OTTAWA — For the first time in three decades, the Ottawa-Glandorf football program is preparing for life with a new head coach. Ken Schriner has announced his retirement, closing the book on a 30-year run that reshaped the Titans into one of northwest Ohio’s most consistent programs.

Schriner’s legacy is defined by sustained success. During his tenure, Ottawa-Glandorf captured five Western Buckeye League titles and made 17 playoff appearances. His teams reached the state semifinals twice, doing so in 2009 and again in 2021, the latter played in pouring snow.

Two seasons ago, Schriner reached another milestone, becoming the 56th coach in OHSAA history to earn 200 career wins. He finishes his career with an overall record of 204-132.

The Titans experienced just seven losing seasons during Schriner’s 30 years at the helm. Before he took over the program in 1996, Ottawa-Glandorf had not recorded a winning season since 1983.

Schriner leaves behind more than wins and championships, having elevated the standard for Ottawa-Glandorf football over three decades on the sideline.
