We are looking forward to finding a coach who appreciates the values of Jeffersonville football, Jeffersonville High School, and the Jeff Community. It is vitally important that we select a coach of great character, discipline, and talent for guiding young men to maximize their potential on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
