Lake Erie College
391 W. Washington St.
Painesville, OH 44077
(440) 375-7000

JIM DOLAN enters his fourth season as Lake Erie’s head coach. Dolan came to the College with an impressive high school and junior college career. At each of the high schools he coached between 1980 and 1993, his teams improved from five wins or less seasons and won league championships. Dolan compiled an overall record of 325-144 during that span.

Dolan exited the high school scene to take the head coaching position at nearby Lakeland Community College. While there he put together five 20-win seasons, a school record, en route to a 105-35 career mark. His teams also won two Ohio Community College Championships and put strongholds on most school records.

The challenge at Lake Erie has been similar to Dolan’s other coaching jobs. Under his guidance the program has increased its win total in successive seasons, including a school record 12-win season in 2002-03.
Dolan, who holds degrees in education from Hiram College and Kent State University resides in Painesville with his wife, Mary Anne, and son Sean, who is working toward a graduate degree at Cleveland State University. Dolan’s daughter, Meaghan, is completing her graduate program at Fordham University in New York.

He works full-time as Painesville’s Water Pollution Control Superintendent.
