[edit] Pro Career
Hoeppner played for Detroit Wheels and the Charlotte Hornets of the World Football League for one season each. He was also invited to the NFL's St. Louis Cardinals and Green Bay Packers training camps, but never made the active roster.
[edit] High School Coach
Terry was a head coach of Eastbrook High School in Marion, Indiana (1970-1972), Mullins High School in Mullins, South Carolina (1976 – 1978) and East Noble High School in Kendallville, Indiana (1979)
[edit] College Assistant Coach
Hoeppner's first job as an assistant coach was at his alma mater, Franklin College, where he served as defensive coordinator. He spent six years there before moving to Miami University as a linebacker coach in 1986. After 12 years, Hoeppner worked his way up to assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. He was also able to retain his positions after head coach Tim Rose was replaced prior to the 1990 by Randy Walker. Hoeppner was instrumental in the development of several NFL players, including JoJuan Armour, Dustin Cohen and Sheldon White.

[edit] Miami University
After spending 13 years as an assistant at Miami, Hoeppner became the RedHawks’s 31st head coach in 1999. He succeeded Walker, who was named head coach at Northwestern. Ironically, Hoeppner’s first game would come against Walker and the Wildcats, which resulted in a 28-3 Miami victory. Despite the win, his first year was considered by some to be a disappointment. The RedHawks were coming off a 10-1 season and returned several starters including record breaking running back Travis Prentice, but were only able to post a a 7-4 record. The drop off was attributed in part to Hoeppner's installation of an open passing attack, rather than the running game Walker had in the past. The change ended up paying dividends later, as Miami earned a 48-25 overall record under Hoeppner and finished among the top three in the MAC East each of his six years at the helm. Hoeppner's best season was 2003, when Miami went 13-1 and finished number 10 in the final AP Poll. The team was led by Ben Roethlisberger, now of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers

[edit] Indiana
During his first year as head coach at Indiana University, Hoeppner and the Hoosiers began the season 4-1 before losing their last six games. In addition, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor after the season. [1]
It was revealed on September 12th that he required additional surgery and would miss two to four weeks of the season. [2] Coach Hoeppner has since come out of surgery and is healing well. He returned to the team to coach against Wisconsin.
