Bob Campbell returns for his 11th season on the Gettysburg staff in 2010. After working as the Bullets wide receivers coach for the past 10 years, he will serve as the team's kickers/punters coach this season.
Campbell has helped lead Gettysburg's offense to the top of the Centennial Conference charts in recent years. For the past four seasons the Bullets have led the Centennial Conference in total offense, and last season Gettysburg set school records for passing yards, pass completions, receiving yards, pass receptions, all-purpose yards, and total offense.
A native of Vestal, N.Y., Campbell was a three-year letterwinner at halfback under head coach Joe Paterno at Penn State University and played on the 1968 Nittany Lion squad that went 11-0 and finished No. 2 in the nation. In Penn State's 15-14 win over Kansas in the 1968 Orange Bowl, Campbell scored the game-winning two-point conversion run with 15 seconds left. He went on to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers for one season in 1969.
After graduating from Penn State, he earned his master’s degree from SUNY Cortland in 1972 and began his teaching and coaching career in Cicero, N.Y., as the head football coach. He took over as the head coach at Christian Brothers Academy in 1979 and assumed head coaching duties at Frederick High School in 1986. He retired from that role in 1996, but will enter his 39th year of teaching in 2010.
