Righetti High School

Location: Central Coast California; Santa Maria & Orcutt, CA. (20 mins to several beaches)

Demographic: Melting Pot of 2,400 students (White, Hispanic, Black, Asian)

District: 3 High School Joint Union District. Middle Schools & Elementary are seperate districts but feed into the high schools. 

Pros: Program is on the upswing; we won the first league title in the past 16 years in 2025. We have made the playoffs the last two years (I took over the program in 2023). Strong sophomore class who helped pioneer the league championship season. Program has averaged a 3.0 gpa throughout all levels. 

Cons: Work in progress with building the love for football at an elite level. Smaller staff (but we have the right people in the building). We battle hurdles of offseason programing due to a lot of multiple sport athletes and access points to weightlifting classes, but we are creative in how we get to our student athletes. 

Need: More football & kid loving coaches to pour into our program, no "hobby" coaches.

We are looking to add to our assistants with the right fit of a coaches. Below is what we are looking for to fit within our program. Family, BIG Job, Little Job. Family - Always comes first. I will miss things of my children at times but do my best not too. I encourage you not to miss family related events and such, BUT it needs to be communicated in advance unless emergency. BIG JOB (Off Campus Coaches) - The everyday job the pays the bills. Don't sacrifice you big job for coaching, but find ways to have it balanced. When organized and communicating we can make a lot of situations work.  For me as the head coach I am a football coach who can teach, not a teacher who can coach football. I will put a lot of time into this. It is what got me here. Little Job - This is coaching football. It isn't as important as the first two but HAS TO BE DONE WITH JUST AS MUCH EFFICIENCY. It will expose you if not done the right way. It can't be treated like a hobby. YOU MUST BE GOOD...
