Head Coach David Rehr
David Rehr enters his ninth season as head volleyball coach for the Buccaneers, his twelfth overall at the collegiate level.
In his eight seasons at Blinn, Rehr has built the program into a perennial powerhouse, winning seven NJCAA Regional Championships (2003-2008, 2010), along with seven Region XIV titles (2003-2006, 2008-2010). In 2008, Rehr brought home the program’s first ever NJCAA National Championship, finishing the season with a 33-2 mark.
Prior to his arrival at Blinn in 2003, the program had not previously earned a bid to the NJCAA National Tournament. In his inaugural season, the Buccaneers went 43-2, followed by a string of successful campaigns and seven appearances in the NJCAA National Tournament.
During his tenure with the Buccaneers, Rehr has amassed an impressive 276-35 record and winning percentage (.886). In 2009, he logged his 300th win as head coach. His career record stands at a remarkable 355-63 (.849 winning percentage).
He was named athletic director in June of 2007 and became the first head coach since Leroy Dreyer to serve in a dual role as Blinn’s athletic director and head coach. He served in this capacity from 2007-2011.
With Rehr as athletic director, Blinn achieved unparalleled success in all sports. In 2008, his volleyball team won the NJCAA National Championship, producing two All-Americans and the National Player of the Year. In 2009, the football team won the NJCAA National Championship, the fourth in the program’s history. That team was led by All-American quarterback Cam Newton, who would go on to win the 2010 Heisman Trophy and be selected as the number-one overall pick by the Carolina Panthers in the 2011 NFL Draft.
A native of Tampa, Fla., Rehr attended Brevard Community College in Melbourne, Fla., where he was a student assistant with the volleyball program. He earned both his Bachelors of Science in Wellness and Masters of Arts in Physical Education from the University of South Florida in Tampa. He and his wife Felicia were married in 2005, and they have two year old son Noah.
