Hanson was promoted to become the fourth head college football coach for the Malone College Pioneers (now called Malone University) located in Canton, Ohio, United States, and he held that position for four seasons, from 2002[2] until 2005, when he resigned for personal reasons.[3] His career coaching record at Malone was 13 wins, 27 losses, and 0 ties.[4] This ranks him third at Malone in total wins and fourth at Malone in winning percentage.[5] His conference record in the Mid-States Football Association was 5 wins and 21 losses during his tenure.[6]
