Doug Schleeman joined the Oredigger coaching staff in 1996 and was appointed assistant head coach after being named the NAIA Assistant Coach of the Year following the 2010 campaign.

During his career at Montana Tech, Schleeman has been part of seven conference championship teams. He has coached more than 60 all-conference selections including the all-time career reception, touchdown, and yardage record holders.

Schleeman played collegiately at Peru State College in Nebraska, where he was a four-year letterman and an all-conference performer at center. He helped lead his team to the school's first-ever playoff appearance in his senior season. Following his playing career, Schleeman assisted in coaching Peru's offensive line before making his first move to Montana. From 1990-1992, he was the head coach at Shields Valley High School in Clyde Park. In his three years at the helm, the Rebels made two state playoff appearances, and Schleeman served on the Class C All-Star Game coaching staff twice.

Following his tenure at Shields, Schleeman returned to the college ranks in his home state of Nebraska as an assistant at Chadron State College for two years, where he earned his master's degree in secondary education. He then took over as head coach at Kemmerer High School in Kemmerer, Wyo., where he coached until moving to Butte in 1996.

Schleeman is a native of Culbertson, Neb., and resides in Butte with his wife, Tara — who is part of the occupational safety and health faculty at Montana Tech — and their three children: Kenna, Kade, and Koda. He also has two older children, Nicole and Drew.
