I took over as freshmen football coach in 1999. My first nine seasons have been a lot of fun, mostly due to the great kids that have come through and because of the coaches I work with. I've called the offense at the freshmen level for those eight years, with various other coaches calling the defense and special teams. No other coach has been more important to the freshmen program than Pat Hall. Coach Hall has made a positive impact on our teams in many ways; he is currently the freshmen O-line, D-line, and special teams coach. His "coaching up" of the offensive line has made my job calling the offense much easier the past few years. Student teachers have been a great source of help, starting in the 2003 season with Mike Franzese. Mike proclaims himself as the "Defensive Coordinator of the Year" at the freshmen level in the state while he was here. His defense only allowed a few touchdowns the entire season. The next year brought Chad Cline. Cline also called the defense and allowed even less points than Franzese, though Franzese will never acknowledge that fact. In 2005 Brett Miller called the defense and like the others before him did a great job. In 2006, Jason Robinson joined the staff and called the defense. For the 2007 season, alum Andrew Bruce came back and called the defense. Coach Hall, Coach Bruce, and myself are the 2008 freshmen coaching staff. Taking the year off in 2009.
