Coaches | Los Angeles Chargers
For nearly two decades, the Chargers have teamed up with the NFL to host the team's High School Football Coach of the Week program. Annually, this program recognizes high school football coaches who have made a difference in the lives of their players through leadership, hard work, and a special dedication to their young scholar-athletes. All nominations are decided upon by the Chargers Coach of the Week Selection Committee comprised of California Interscholastic (CIF) Federation administrators, retired coaches, and more. Each weekly winning Coach receives $1,000 to go to their school's athletic department.
This year, the Chargers will honor a Coach of the Week winner for Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties. The award matches what the team has done for tackle for over two decades and will highlight some of the best coaches throughout Southern California.
The Los Angeles Chargers have honored both Tackle and Girls Flag Coach of the Year winners for Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties. The 18 nominees are honored at halftime of a Chargers home game, and the winner of this award will be determined via fan vote and receive a $2,000 donation to their football program.
Every year, each of the 32 NFL clubs nominates a high school coach for the Don Shula NFL Coach of the Year Award, named after Pro Football Hall of Famer Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history. The nominated coaches are judged based on areas that Coach Shula excelled at the most during his career — character, integrity, leadership, dedication to the community, commitment to player health and safety, and on-field success. The NFL will recognize two winners, one from each conference. The AFC and NFC award winners will be announced in the week prior to the Pro Bowl Games. The two winners will be invited to the Pro Bowl Games and will be recognized in special ways during the NFL's week-long celebration of football. The NFL Foundation and Nike have teamed up to provide the two winners a $15,000 award to their high school football programs and a $10,000 cash award. The other 30 club nominees will all receive a $1,000 cash award.
