Frank Scott stepping down as head football coach at Eustis High School (Florida)

After four seasons at the helm, Scott is stepping down as the Panthers lead man

Another successful head coach is leaving his program after leading them into the 2023 Florida high school football playoffs. 

SBLive Sports confirmed with Frank Scott on Thursday morning that he would be stepping down as the Eustis High School head football coach. Scott led the program from 2020-2023, compiling an overall record of 23-17 and qualifying for the playoffs three of his four seasons guiding the Panthers. 

“Blessed and honored to be able to lead Eustis High School football program for the last 4 years,” Scott said. “Mr. Clark has been super supportive and provided me and my staff with everything we needed to be successful. I’m proud of what we have accomplished here at Eustis High School and look forward to the next chapter.”

The opening became the third one in as many days, with Kyle Sasser stepping away at Auburndale of Polk County and Jon Malandrucco leaving Weeki Wachee High School of Hernando County, respectively. 

Eustis was coming off a solid 2023 season, in which Scott led the Panthers to a 7-4 record and reaching the Class 2S postseason. The Panthers ended up falling to Cocoa 54-7 in the region quarterfinal round.
