Kent Anderson is in his first year as the head coach of the Waldorf College football team.

Prior to his arrival at Waldorf, Anderson spent two seasons at Iowa Wesleyan College. In the 2011 season the Tigers compiled the most wins since 1997. Anderson also served as the team's offensive coordinator and helped them average the most points per game since 1994. Their team GPA was the highest in twenty years, which can be attributed to Anderson's commitment to academic achievement. Before Iowa Wesleyan, he spent the past 15 years as a head coach in Germany. As a coach in the German Football League, Anderson compiled a 182-62-5 record and won eight national championships, with four different teams. He was also a six-time national coach of the year.

Anderson is a native of Bloomfield, Iowa, and is a 1985 graduate of Iowa State University. He received a degree in general studies and was a wide receiver and special teams player and a three-year letter winner on the football team.

Upon his graduation from Iowa State, Anderson worked in the private sector for six years in sales. He then spent two years at the University of North Carolina working as a graduate assistant in the football program coached by Mack Brown, who is now the head coach at the University of Texas. Anderson coached wide receivers and the offensive line and was part of a UNC team that won the 1993 Peach Bowl, which marked the Tar Heels' first bowl win in nine years.

Anderson also spent one year as an assistant coach at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa, coaching wide receivers and coordinating the team's passing game. In 1994 he took over as head coach of the Braunschweig Lions in Braunschweig, Germany, and became the first coach in GFL history to take his team to the playoffs in his first year as coach.

While coaching in Germany, Anderson also oversaw many of his teams' football operations, including recruitment/scouting of players from the NCAA, NFL and Europe, developing corporate sponsorship and marketing programs, budget operation and personnel decisions. He also spent time off the field as a motivational speaker for a number of German businesses.

Anderson is married to Friederike and they have one daughter, Laena.
