Kent Kessinger is an American football coach and former player. Kessinger is the head football at Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kansas. He has held that position since the 2004 season and is the 29th football coach at the school.
Kessinger is a graduate of Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas where he played offensive line under his father, Ted Kessinger.
Part of Kessinger's coaching style is to encourage athletes to participate in more than one sport, "It breaks up the year, it gives them something to compete with when they’re in the offseason, and if they really love to play it, then we encourage them to keep on doing it."
