Vero Beach Gary Coggins

He's the coach that's in between Livings and Coach J (2006-2010), he went 35-20 in only five seasons and made the playoffs all five seasons, he won the district championship two straight years.Coggins was a run heavy team different from the one you see today but he lead them to 4 straight winning seasons.

Coggins was a decent scheduler because he played Pahokee the State champions two years in a row and played Palm Bay two years in a row too along with wins over South Fork(2008) who made it to the third round of the playoffs and Westwood(2009) who also made it to the third round of the playoffs....

The crazy thing is that they let him go because he couldn't get to the third round of the playoffs, SMH, so I guess that means that coach J shoulda been kicked out along time ago huh

It was sad I loved Coach Coggins he was a great position coach and even better man when I was playing. Very emotional and exciting guy that got behind his players and always wanted the best for them.

Not head coach just a positional coach and him and Coach Ahrens ran drivers ed together. Livings was still the HC.

Coggin also was like Livings were he had a stout defense and a wing T offense...the powers that be replaced him because of pressure from the booster club...thought a more watchable offense would bring out more athletes to play football

It did work tho because alot of basketball players who never played football before came out and excelled at it and you saw any of the games when Coggins was coaching
