Manatee elevated Green from offensive coordinator to head coach in 2021. He’s a former 2nd Round NFL draft pick.
Over 15 years, Green had been patiently working his way through the high school coaching ranks, serving as an offensive coordinator at five different schools. He became Manatee’s offensive coordinator before the start of the 2019 season.
