Coach Jason Jellerson is entering his 28th season of coaching and his first year as the Varsity Head Coach at Foothill High School, where he has been coaching for the past 9 years. After graduating from Chapman University, Jason began his coaching career at his alma mater, Park City High School. He then moved back to Orange County, where he coached at Anaheim High School and Orange Lutheran High School before joining Foothill in 2017. Jason’s passion for coaching comes from using football to teach valuable life lessons. His favorite quote is, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you're right,” by Henry Ford. Outside of football, Jason is a devoted Notre Dame fan.

Coach Gary Fishel has been coaching for 28 years, with 26 of those years spent at Foothill High School. He currently serves as the Varsity Offensive Coordinator and Running Backs Coach. Over the years, Gary has built an impressive coaching resume, including 10 years as the Head Baseball Coach, 7 years as an Assistant Varsity Baseball Coach, and 13 years as a football coach, both as an assistant at the Varsity and Freshman levels. His favorite part about coaching is watching players achieve levels of performance they never thought possible. Gary’s go-to saying is, “Character is what you do when people are not watching.” Outside of coaching, Gary is a proud fan of the Washington State Cougars.

Coach Garcia is in his 15th year of coaching football, the last eight coaching at his alma mater, Foothill.  He played seven years in the National Public Safety Football League, making our Football family proud of his accomplishments off the field. He enjoys the opportunity to shape our players for football, and for life.  His philosophy is to put the team first and be all in. He and his wife, Cathy, are proud parents to Foothill alumni Ryann and Bobby, who will be a senior at Foothill.  When he isn’t coaching, Eric serves our community fighting fires and listening to music from his favorite band AC/DC, while spending quality time with his fantastic family and friends.
