Episcopal hires Mark Brunell to be head football coach and program director

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Athletic Director Andy Kidd, of The Episcopal School of Jacksonville, announced Sunday morning that former Jaguar NFL quarterback Mark Brunell will be the school’s next football coach and program director.

Brunell spent the majority of his pro-football years playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars under then head coach Tom Coughlin. Most recently, Mark was an assistant coach for Providence in 2012 when the team advanced to the state playoffs.

“Episcopal is an ideal fit for me and my family and I am excited about this new chapter in my life,” Brunell said. “I look forward to this opportunity to continue to build a first rate football program at Episcopal.”

Brunell's first day on campus will be January 14th in preparation for high school football's 2013 season.
