Wolff has head coaching experience in Carmi, both in Girls basketball as well as boys track & field, where he has been successful. Wolff already knows all the student-athletes, so he will hit the ground running. He inherits a football program that has been very consistent from Kurt Simon, who spent 28 years as the Head Football Coach of the Carmi Bulldogs football program. The Bulldogs were 7-3 this past season, and made the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
