The 2009 season marks head coach Bill Cronin’s thirteenth year guiding the Tiger football program. One of the premier coaches in the NAIA, Cronin has developed Georgetown into one of the powerhouses in NAIA football, leading the Tigers each and every season on a path to a National Championship.

This year Cronin was named to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Directors, the only NAIA member of the board, which is responsible for setting the policies and procedures of collegiate football at all levels. His 2006 season he hit a major milestone of 100 wins in less than ten full season (tenth season, third game) putting him in the company of legendary coaches like Steve Spurrier who earned his 100th in the tenth season, eighth game while at the University of Flordia.  "I hope the ten year worth of kids and coaches that have come through this program all feel a part of this milestone," said Cronin.  Perhaps even more unusual is that four members of his staff have been with him for each of the 100 wins, Dave Campbell, Steve Hill, Craig Mullins and Bruce Owens.
