News: Orlando Scandrick named HS head football coach

WoodysGirl · May 10, 2022

Playa del Rey St. Bernard High has hired former NFL cornerback Orlando Scandrick as its new football coach to take over a program that hasn’t played any games since an abbreviated four-game spring schedule in 2021.

The program lost most of its varsity players after former coach Manuel Douglas resigned. Then came word of a federal investigation. The school hired Steve Broussard to take over the program in the summer of 2021 but didn’t have enough players to have a team in the fall.

Now Scandrick, 35, has been hired to restart the program in his first head coaching job.

I like him but man I can’t even imagine him coaching high school students but he’s a good football mind. School is lucky to have him.

charron · May 10, 2022

Good for him. I hope he does well and I hope the kids learn alot from him.

Orlando, Jason Witten, John Kitna. We are the feeder team for high school coaches.

Go get 'em Orlando. Sounds like a tough gig. Teach them as much about right from wrong as you do about football.

Being a head HS coach is a big responsibility, not just on the field....building and molding young men to become productive members of society should be first and foremost. I wish him luck.

Hopefully kids show up, so they can field a team.

Hopefully it goes better than it did for Gerald Sensabaugh.

Scandrick is the only 5th round pick the last 20 years that has ever panned out even to a tiny degree.

Hopefully this year's class bucks the trend.

Doesn’t seem like he has the personality for it

I'm guessing his name helps with that some

Scandrick is only 35? Seems like he should be older than that. Did he start the NFL young like T. Smith?

..good for Scandy.

How so?

His me against the world attitude as a 5th rd pick is probably highly relatable to the kids he'd be coaching.

Agreed. Dude was always an ***. Good for him, but don’t see him connecting with the kids. Hope I’m wrong

Good for Scandy! Rebuild the program and see you coaching in Big D in a few years.

Good for him. Im kind of surprised he didnt go the media route. He seemed natural to me when he was guesting and said what was on his mind. That can get you in trouble, but it also gets you a following. Restarting that program could be a great resume builder for him though

I don't know why some think he doesn't have to personality to do this job. He was asking to be voted a team leader at one time in Dallas. Just because he's not a media darling doesn't mean he's not equipped to do this job. Some people just don't like the media.

I think it’s mostly Scandy always played with a chip and carrier that chip on the field. That is awesome and it carved a career there. But that may not correlate directly with all of his players.

I hope the best for him and the kids
