Statewide coaching changes (2012)

2012 Washington high school football coaching changes

Over the last decade, I have worked with Dave Tuengel (Washington Prep Football Report) and the late Mike Warchol (Washington Preps.com) when they compiled statewide coaching changes.

If a new coach has (1st) next to his name, it is his first head coaching job in Washington.

Any additions or corrections, please e-mail David Maley. [e-mail]
