Where Will I Coach Next Year?

This question has been asked by players and parents alike. Some are hoping that I will remain with this group of men and coach the JV next year.

Well, that's not going to happen. I'm happy to be back home at Patrick Henry HS. I am an alum, a former player, a former coach and I am coaching in my 'Dream Job' as the Freshman Head coach.

I have two young daughters at home and the Freshman job isn't as time intensive as the JV or Varsity jobs. It allows me to coach and still be home for my daughters. For that reason alone, I want to coach Freshman football.

But there is more to it than that. As a police officer, I want to steer our young men in the right direction in life. As a mentor, I want to teach our players how to be a man and to build men for others. As a coach, I want to teach our players to compete at the highest level and make a contribution to the Varsity program. And as an alumni, I want to see the football program return to where it was when I went to school: We were in the CIF playoffs every year.

I take all these blank canvases and turn them into men and football players. This is my place in society and I am happy with it.
