Tom Brittain (’96), a legendary high school football coach in the Phoenix area, is taking the reins at Chandler Prep charter school this fall, and joining him as co-coach will be his son and fellow TAC alumnus Joshua Brittain (’15). The younger Brittain, a star in the College’s intramural program during his student days, previously served as the head coach at nearby Tempe Prep.
“Josh totally supported me throughout my career, coming to games before he could play, playing for me, coaching with me when I coached his four younger brothers,” Tom told the Arizona Republic. “He made the playoffs two years in a row and wanted to be with his dad. Bottom line, he’s been such a loyal, faithful son to put his own career on hold to support his dad that he deserves the credit for any success we have at Chandler Prep. I wanted to co-head coach with him.”
Chandler Prep Athletic Director Shawn Lytle praised the father-son coaching tandem for their commitment to developing “men of virtue and character,” adding the they “will bring and demand passion, discipline and courage.”
