National Coach of the Week

Now in its third season, National Coach of the Week recognizes high school football coaches and programs making an impact during the season and goes beyond the final score to uncover how they are doing it.

Each week, Coach and Coordinator Network’s Keith Grabowski sits down with a head coach coming off a notable performance to talk through the decisions, preparation, adjustments, culture, and coaching behind the result. The goal is not just to recognize winning coaches, but to give coaches at every level ideas they can take back to their own programs.

National Coach of the Week is presented by Modern Football.
