New Butler Football Coach Kevin Lynch will be introduced to the Bulldog community Tuesday at 11 a.m. The event at the Hinkle Fieldhouse Wildman Room is open to the public, but will also be streamed on the Butler Athletics YouTube page. 

Vice President/Director of Athletics Grant Leiendecker announced Lynch's hiring Thursday, Dec. 12.
 
Lynch has served on the Ball State coaching staff since 2016. Lynch, who served as Ball State's offensive play caller, was the Assistant Head Coach and Quarterbacks Coach during the 2024 season. He also served as the team's Offensive Coordinator. His earlier roles at Ball State included the positions of Running Backs Coach and Recruiting Coordinator.  
 
Lynch is the 26th head coach in program history and just the tenth since 1935 when Tony Hinkle first led the Bulldogs. The program started in 1887. Lynch replaces Mike Uremovich, who accepted the head coaching position at Ball State on Dec. 4 after spending three seasons at Butler.
