Proven winner abroad
The 57-year-old Michigan native brings a wealth of international experience, having guided Italy’s Aquile Ferrara to promotion into the top division in 2024.

Stateside success and development

Named USA Football Coach of the Year, he developed multiple NFL players and dozens of NCAA Division I recruits during tenures at Aiken, Greenwood, and North Augusta high schools. He also spent time in the college ranks at Webber International University and Rochester Community and Technical College.

Building on recent success
Under Pippin’s leadership, the Lowlanders have become consistent contenders, reaching the PFL championship game in 2024 and the semifinals in 2025. His return signals the club’s ambition to take the next step and capture a title, leveraging his offensive expertise and player development track record to maintain the team’s upward trajectory in Polish American football.
