Coaching history
Assistant coaching positions
Hanson first served as defensive coordinator at Olivet Nazarene University in Kankakee, Illinois. He later moved to Canton, Ohio to be the defensive coordinator at Malone College.[6]
Malone University
Hanson was promoted to become the fourth head coach for Malone. He held that position for four seasons, from 2002[7] until 2005, when he resigned for personal reasons.[8] His career coaching record at Malone was 13 wins, 27 losses, and 0 ties.[9] This ranks him third at Malone in total wins and fourth at Malone in winning percentage.[10] His conference record in the Mid-States Football Association was 5 wins and 21 losses during his tenure.[11]
Hanson's inagural 2002 season started out with three consecutive wins[12] and a national ranking [13] but was answered with 3 consecutive losses. The team would win one more before finising 2002 with a 4-6 record. Despite the losing record, Malone outscored their opponents 245 to 196.[14]

Notes
- ^ Although the first Rose Bowl Game was played in 1902, it has been continuously played since the 1916 game, and is recognized as the oldest bowl game by the NCAA.[2]
- ^ A running total of the number of head coaches, with coaches who served separate tenures being counted only once. Interim head coaches are represented with "Int" and are not counted in the running total. "—" indicates the team played but either without a coach or no coach is on record. "X" indicates an interim year without play.
- ^ Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible in the period since.[3]
- ^ When computing the win–loss percentage, a tie counts as half a win and half a loss.[4]
