In his first year at the helm, Price and the Tigers exceeded all expectations by going 17–12, winning the National Division of C–United States of America and advancing to the Postseason National Institute of Technology. With a very talented core returning for his second season, a young but talented Tiger team posted a 13–15 record. He was forced to resign days before the start of what would have been his third season because of an inappropriate sexual relationship.
