In his first season on the staff, Tenenoff was the Co-Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Line Coach, producing two All-MWC performers on the defensive line and a total of five All-MWC selections from the defense. The Blueboys ranked third in the MWC against the rush and were third in takeaways.

Tenenoff came to IC after a two-year stint at Wisconsin Lutheran College coaching the Defensive Line. During his time at WLC, Tenenoff coached five All-Conference selections including a Conference Defensive Player of the Year. As the Defensive Line Coach at WLC, the defense set a program record for sacks with 35 during the 2016 season, 33 of which came from Defensive Linemen.
