Carl Tebon
Head Coach

Carl Tebon began his time at the helm of the Loras College Duhawks in 1996 and has won 536 games as the skipper of the Duhawks. In his 26th season at Loras, Tebon has had the Duhawks in the top four in the standings nine times, including leading the Duhawks to the Iowa Conference championship in 2009, the first Loras team to do so since 1952. The 2009 Conference champion season saw Tebon crowned as the Iowa Conference Coach of the Year after going 21-10 on the year.

This past season, Tebon's Duhawks had their best season in program history, racking up a regular season record setting 32 wins with just 11 losses on the year. The Duhawks went on a 16-game tear to start the season, holding the longest win streak in Division III going into conference play, highlighted by a monumental 3-1 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes in just their third game of the season that saw the Duhawks hold the Hawkeyes scoreless until the bottom of the ninth inning. Going 15-9 in American Rivers Conference action on the year, the Duhawks earned their highest playoff seed since the 2009 season, going on to collect five all-conference nods. 

Tebon has coached two All-Americans, 17 All-Region picks, and 81 All-Conference players, including league MVPs Justin Pierro (1998), Cory Schultz (2002), and Nick Olberding (2009) and Luke Fennelly (2021). Pierro went on to a three-year minor league career with the Cook County Cheetahs and the Dubois County Dragons of the Frontier League. Schultz was a free agent signing by the Philadelphia Phillies and was a part of their minor league system for three seasons, throwing a total of 123 innings.

The Sturgeon Bay, Wis. native is a 1989 graduate of Mount Senario College where he was a two-time All-Conference pick and MVP in baseball, while also starring on the football field. He earned his master's degree in education/sport management from Old Dominion University in 1992.

Prior to coming to the Duhawks, Tebon served as the head coach at UW-River Falls, compiling a 56-38 record. He was also an assistant baseball coach at Virginia Wesleyan from 1989-1992.

Tebon and his wife, Brenda, reside in Dubuque and have three daughters, Erica, Elly and Rachel.
