"Coaching is not how much you KNOW. It's how much you can get players to DO." - Bum Phillips

MATTHEW
FORREST

Head Football Coach

Coach Forrest came to Matanzas High School as a former Division 1 Player and Assistant Coach. As a Division 1 Quarterback, Coach Forrest set school records for numerous Punt, Pass and Kick contests. As an Offensive Coordinator, he successfully ran the “air raid” offense setting more school records in passing yards, TD’s and points scored. And, as an Assistant Coach, he learned how to manage and get his players focused on the victory at hand.

Being raised in a football family where his father coached High School Football for over 30 years, Coach Forrest has witnessed first hand how this game can help mold our young men into leaders and achievers. We’re so thankful to have Coach Matthew Forrest pirating this ship!
