Jennifer Stadler has resigned after eight seasons as Chadron State’s volleyball coach. She leaves behind the program’s first RMAC Tournament appearance in 20 years and a record of supporting student-athletes and community causes beyond the court. Chadron State has begun a national search for her successor.

By the Numbers
  • 8 seasons leading the Eagles
  • 10-16 record in 2026
  • 15-12 overall and 8-6 in conference in 2023-24
  • First RMAC Tournament berth in 20 years, earned in 2023-24
Yes, But

Stadler’s tenure included uneven results: the Eagles reached double-digit wins in 2026, but had a losing record. Her 2023-24 season marked a notable breakthrough for the program.

State of Play
  • Stadler has stepped down after eight seasons.
  • A national search for the next head coach is underway.
Bottom Line

Stadler departs after helping deliver a rare postseason milestone and building a foundation for the program; the next coach will inherit both that progress and the challenge of sustaining it.
