When my son was on a 7 yr old team the coach was a former University of Florida starter. Guy was a little intense for 7 year olds.
Middle school coach played QB for Mississippi State and coached under Bryant at Alabama when Namath was there.

Mine did not, although he was a coaching legend in the state of LA. My son's position coach at his high school here in Texas did. Played at Bama in the early 80's. Recruited by the Bear but played under Perkins.

My HS coach was a coach's son that never played anywhere. He was awful and rode the coattails of a 5 Star QB. He got fired last year.

Mine, Cecil Woolbright, played at SCAR. So did two of his Sons, Roger and Marty. Marty was a TE for the NY Giants for awhile. His other son Rex played for Newberry College.
Good story about Cecil.
Mid 70s and my high school was a football factory. I had two nephews playing for Chapin at the time and I, along with all of my brothers, was a legacy player. Country boys, family tradition sort of thing.. We had this running back named Isaiah Hipp who had committed to SCAR. But Isaiah was a problem child who liked the white girls ... and he happened to be chasing the sister of the two sisters who were dating Roger and Marty Woolbright. Cecil wasn't having any of that and he had a lot of pull at SCAR, so Isaiah's schollie offer was pulled and, because of other off the field problems he had, he wasn't offered by anyone else.
So he called Tom Osborn at Nebraska and asked to walk-on because Osborn had the premier walk-on program in the nation at the time.
Osborn agreed to give Isaiah a try provided he behaved and provided he left the white girls alone.
Isaiah, his full name being Isaiah Moses Hipp, went to Nebraska and became an All-American for one season ... and the pressed dubbed him, "I.M. Hipp," because, in those days, if you were "hip," shorter for "a hipster," you were cool.
Isaiah was on track for a Heisman ... but then in typical Isaiah fashion he got the big head and screwed the pooch with a series of off field incidents. To top it off he had a run-in with a couple of white girls and bam ... it was reported that injuries caught-up with him but you just read the real story.
I have to give it to Isaiah though. He turned his life around, became a solid citizen. Married his girlfriend (white gal, and that was not cool or hip in those days), and has led a productive life.
I see him from time to time in celebrity golf tourneys around here - he's a good guy these days.
Dude was a freak in the weight room. All of Cecil's boys were weight room freaks. We had a nicer weight room in high school than most colleges had in those days. Full of free weights, motion machines and Nautalis machines.

My HS baseball coach played football and baseball at Southeastern Louisiana, but he said he made a lot of booty calls at LSU, so I guess you could say he played in the SEC, haha!
