Each week, several NFL organizations salute the work done by high school coaches in their communities through the "Coach of the Week" program. Coaches can be nominated by their peers, mentors or other local officials.
The program looks to honor outstanding high school coaches who not only help to develop their players' football skills and knowledge, but also their character, discipline and leadership abilities.
Stay tuned to usafootball.com throughout the 2008 season for a complete list of those who have been selected.
