Higgins was born in Blackwell, Oklahoma, on October 11, 1968, where he was an all-state quarterback for the Blackwell High School football team.[4] After graduating high school in 1987, Higgins attended Emporia State University, where he was the quarterback for the football team.[5] While at Emporia State, Higgins helped lead the team to the 1989 NAIA championship game where they lost to Carson–Newman.[6]
Coaching career
After graduating Emporia State in 1992, Higgins served as a graduate assistant at Northeastern State University from 1992 through the 1993 season.[7] In 1994, Higgins left for Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) in where he held several positions from 1995 to 1999 including the running backs and quarterbacks coach for the first three seasons, and then moving to offensive coordinator from 1997 to 1999 before being named head coach in after the 1999 season.[8]
Northwestern Oklahoma State (2000–2004)
On February 14, 2000, Higgins was promoted to head coach at Northwestern Oklahoma State.[9] Coming off of a championship season,[10] Higgins led the Rangers to a 13–1 overall, 5–0 in conference play season, which in return led them being the Central States Football League champions and earned them a NAIA runners-up.[11] The next season, 2001, turned out to be another winning season. Higgins led the Rangers to another conference title, ending the season in the first round of the NAIA postseason with an overall record of 7–3, 4–0 in conference play.[12] In 2002, Higgins led the Rangers to another conference championship with a record of 11–1 overall, 4–0 in conference play, advancing the team to the NAIA quarterfinals.[13]
The following season in 2003, the Rangers won their fifth straight conference championship and advanced finished the season with an overall record of 11–2, 5–0 in conference play earning the runners-up in the NAIA.[14] In 2004, Higgins' last season with the Rangers, the team won their sixth straight conference championship finishing the season in the first round of the NAIA postseason and an overall record of 9–2, 7–0 in conference play.[15] Higgins finished his career at NWOSU with an overall record of 51–9, 25–0 in conference play with a winning percentage of .850. On January 5, 2006, Higgins resigned to become the co-offensive coordinator at Minnesota State–Mankato.[16] In 2006, Higgins returned to Northeastern State to serve as the offensive coordinator for one season.[17]
Emporia State (2007–present)
Rough first five seasons: 2007–2011
On December 14, 2006, Higgins was introduced as the 24th head football coach of Emporia State University,[18] replacing Dave Wiemers who resigned after three consecutive losing seasons.[19] On September 1, 2007, the Hornets opened the season with a 7–3 win over the Western State Colorado Mountaineers, securing his' first win as a coach at his alma mater.[20] Higgins led the Hornets to their first 3–0 season since 2003, but that quickly ended once they began conference play losing their final eight games.[21] The Hornets finished 3–8 overall, 1–8 in conference play.[22] The following season in 2008, Higgins led the Hornets to a 4–7 overall, 2–7 in conference play season with their only two conference wins against Fort Hays State and Truman.[23]
During his third year as head coach of the Hornets, Higgins led his team to the program's lowest overall winning record since 1980 – 2–8.[24] The next season, however, Higgins turned the program around and finished the next two seasons 5–6 overall, and 3–6 in conference play.[25]
Next five seasons: success begins (2012–2016)
During his sixth season at Emporia State, the university had undergone a leadership change.[26] With the new leadership change, came a new atmosphere on campus and Higgins led the Hornets to their first winning season since 2003.[27] The Hornets started the season off strong winning their first eight games – the program's first since 1988[28] – earning them national rankings as well for the first time since 2003. In the first five games, the Hornets scored 30+ points per game.[29] Finishing 10–2 overall, 9–2 in conference play led Higgins to secure a second-place finish in the MIAA and a bid to the Kanza Bowl where they defeated the Texas A&M–Kingsville Javelinas 45–38.[30] Quarterback Tyler Eckenrode finished his career at Emporia State with school records and as a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy.[31]
After a successful season and losing a record-breaking quarterback,[32] the Hornets were chosen to finish in seventh place in the MIAA preseason polls.[33] The Hornets also were starting to receive votes for national rankings, as well.[34] Higgins led the Hornets to another 8–0 start, scoring 35+ points a game.[35] The No. 10 Hornets' winning streak was again snapped to the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats.[36] The Hornets won their next game after against Washburn. Finishing regular season play, Higgins led the Hornets to a 9–1 overall, 9–1 in conference play, advancing to the NCAA Playoffs for the first time since 2003.[37] The Hornets lost to the Minnesota–Duluth Bulldogs 55–13.[38]
Starting his eighth season, the Hornets began the year ranked No. 22 in the preseason AFCA poll.[39] Facing injuries from last season, the Hornets started off with a win against Missouri Southern.[40] Following the first win of the season, the Hornets moved to No. 19 in the polls, but would quickly decline after losing the next two games. The Hornets would go on to win the next two games, but would then lose the next two. The Hornets won one more before losing the last two games, finishing the season 4–7 both overall and in conference play.[41]
After having their first losing season since 2011, Higgins was quickly able to get the program winning again during his ninth season. The Hornets started the season 6–0, scoring 38+ points in the first five games, and quickly regained their national rankings after being unranked for a year.[42] The second game of the season against Central Missouri was suspended at halftime due to severe weather.[43] At the time the game was suspended, the Hornets were tied with the Mules at 24.[44] The Hornets defeated the Mules two days later 45–34.[45] In the last four games of the season, the Hornets went 3–1, losing to Northwest Missouri State again.[46] Finishing the regular season play, Higgins led the Hornets to a 9–2 overall and in conference play. The Hornets once again returned to the NCAA playoffs winning the first two games, and falling to Northwest Missouri State in the third round.[47] Quarterback Brent Wilson was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, making him the second Hornet in three years to be named a finalist.[48]
Starting in his tenth season with the Hornets, Higgins began the season with Northwest Missouri State – the first time two nationally ranked teams kicked off the football season inside Francis G. Welch Stadium since it opened in 1937.[49] After Wilson graduated, the quarterback position was open. Higgins selected a redshirt sophomore who had played in during his freshman year when both Wilson and the back-up quarterback were injured.[50] Emporia State opened the season ranked No. 24 nationally and lost its first game against No. 1 and eventual National Champion Northwest Missouri State.[51] From there, the Hornets won the rest of the regular season play finishing the regular season ranked No. 9 and a 10–1 overall and in conference play record.[52] The Hornets also hosted an NCAA Division II playoff game for the first time in school history (the last playoff game was in 1989 for the NAIA where Higgins was a player).[53] In the first game, the Hornets defeated Minnesota–Duluth 59–26,[54] and ended the season in the second round to Northwest Missouri State 44–13.[55]
2017–2022: three more bowls
In 2017, Higgins led the Hornets to a 6–5 season, landing a tie for 6th place in conference play.[56] This was the third straight winning season for the Hornets and first time the program didn't make a post-season appearance since 2014. In 2018, the Hornets had another winning season, ending the season with an 8–4 overall record, and 7–4 in conference play tying for fourth place.[57] They returned to postseason play against the Arkansas–Monticello Boll Weevils in the Corsicana Bowl, winning 30–22.[58]
In 2019, the Hornets had a rough year as they ended the season with a 4–7 record both overall and in conference play.[59] In 2020, Emporia State did not field a team due to the corona virus pandemic.[60]
In 2021, the Hornets returned with a 6–6 overall record, and 6–5 conference record tying for fifth place in the MIAA. This led them to the Live United Texarkana Bowl, who which they lost 37–34 to Southeastern Oklahoma State.[61] In 2022, the Hornets had their first season with more than six wins since 2018, ending the season with a 9–3 overall win, 8–3 in conference play, landing third in the conference. The Hornets received their chance to defeat Southeastern Oklahoma State again in the Live United Texarkana Bowl,[62] to which they won 48–27.[63]
