Land was also the head coach for the United Indoor Football league's Fort Wayne Freedom in 2005,[3] and Fort Wayne's South Side High School from 2002 to 2005, each year he built up the team a little bit more until his last year in 2005 when he coached the team to its winningest season ever, including a sectional championship victory over Bishop Dwenger High School, a Class 4A regional victory over Delta High School. The Archers lost in the semi-state to Lowell, the eventual Class 4A state champs. He was also the wrestling coach for Northrop High School. Land was part of a rebuilding process at South Side High School, in which he built a team that was 7–20 in three years prior to his arrival, and a 21–11 record in the following three seasons.
