(Santa Ana) – Former Buena Park head coach Anthony White has been named the head football coach at Santa Ana College he confirmed Monday. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

White played his high school football at Rosemead where he won the High School Heisman in 1998 before going on to play at the college level at Utah. White spent one year as the head coach at Temple City in 2009 where he went 5-4-1 before taking over as head coach at Buena Park in 2010. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White took over a Buena Park team that was 2-8 the year before and immediately took the Coyotes to a 6-5 record overall and the playoffs in 2010. White spent seven years at Buena Park and the Coyotes had a winning record every year during his tenure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buena Park missed the playoffs just once during that span and reached the semi-finals in 2014 and ’15. In 2016, in White’s last year at the helm on October 21, the Coyotes had a huge win over La Habra which had been a nemesis over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White coached several Division 1 athletes during his years at Buena Park including NFL players Jaylinn Hawkins (Atlanta), Josh Tupou (Cincinnati) and Nik Needham (Miami). White compiled an overall record of 59-22 at Buena Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After stepping down in 2016 White has been able to spend more time with family while still teaching at Buena Park. He has shown interest however in returning to the game and turned down the head coaching job at Warren High School in 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of my goals was to become a high school head coach in my 20s and a college head coach in my 30s. I have always admired Santa Ana College Football from afar, and sent multiple players there for the close knit family atmosphere,” White said. “When I was approached as a possibility I did it from a standpoint of a husband, father and teacher and wanted to make sure I was ready.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa Ana didn’t play in 2020 due to the pandemic but in 2019 the Dons went 5-5 under Co-Head Coaches Geoff Jones and Adam Nyssen who were there for four seasons. Now White will realize another one of his goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve turned down multiple jobs in the past because there was always something that just didn’t feel perfect. When I met the staff and administration, I felt none of that,” White said. “It was perfect. Perfect for me, the student athletes, my staff, my beautiful wife San, my son Anthony II and my princess Olivia-Grace.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long time area assistant\/ former San Gabriel head coach Jude Oliva will join White’s staff as the offensive coordinator. Oliva was on White’s staff at Buena Park as well. Also Ollie Lynch, former co-coach at La Mirada will be the offensive line coach. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
