Brad Burton knows his way around the school and the game
Most new head high school football coaches need a few weeks to get settled in. Find the weight room, line up assistants, check out the uniforms, meet the players and so forth.
First, his youngest son is heading off to college, so he won’t be sitting in the stands watching high school football on Friday night. Second, his wife, Donna, just happens to be a big football fan who doesn’t hesitate to talk strategy with Burton and supports him 100 percent. Third, the current situation at Otay Ranch is completely different from when he left after compiling an 11-9-1 record.Any coach will tell you that sometimes their philosophy just doesn’t mesh with the administration.
“Our field was just redone. We have a lot of returning starters on offense who are ready to take off. The kids sense this is a new opportunity, a new challenge. With a new coach, the returning starters know they’ll have to come in ready to play because no one is guaranteed a spot. That’s what I told the kids when we met, that every position is open and whoever plays has to earn it.
He learned right away as a player for Joe Rockhold at El Capitan that “football is fun and that you play to win,” said Burton. “Joe always treated his players well and I remembered that.” Not that he feels there is much turning around necessary at Otay Ranch. In the South Bay, Eastlake and Mater Dei Catholic have been the models of success, but the Mustangs have always been close.
