A 15-0 record and a No. 93 ranking in the High School Football America 300 national rankings, powered by NFL Play Football, has led to Knoxville West head coach Lamar Brown being named the Tennessee Titans 2022 Coach of the Year. Earlier this month, Brown’s Rebels won the Tennessee Class 5A state championship.
Brown was honored, along with the other ten Coach of the Week Award winners, at Sunday’s Titans/Jacksonville Jaguars game.
“Coach Brown exemplifies everything we look for in a Coach of the Year winner – integrity, passion and grit. His work at West High School extends far past winning a state championship as he continues to build a reputation for growing and fostering the highest level of character in these young men,” said Josh Corey, Titans Director of Marketing, Youth & Community Engagement. “We know high school coaches have the influence to impact young athletes in the most profound of ways, and Coach Brown is a shining example of that effort coming to fruition.”
