Florida high school football is back and so begins our Coach of the Week poll for the entire state. Coaches around the Sunshine State led their teams to big wins in Week 4 of the regular season.

As such, we have six head coaches nominated this week for the SBLive’s Florida High School Football Coach of the Week award from September 12-14, and we ask you, the fans, to help decide who should indeed be the coach selected.


Congratulations to last week's winner: Jason Kradman, Jupiter

The Warriors are off to a strong 3-0 start and its been under the steady leadership of Kradman at the helm. Kradman navigated his Jupiter team to a 17-0 victory last week over Palm Beach Gardens.

Here are this week's nominees:

Jamelle Murray, Delray Beach Atlantic

One of the most impressive wins from last week was the Eagles defeating Blanche Ely 42-13, improving to 4-0. Murray has shown he's one of the top coaches around.

Bill Vonada, Crystal River

In his first year back as a head coach, Vonada has been superb for the Pirates. Vonada, a longtime Hernando County head coach, put Crystal River in the driver's seat for a district title with a 9-0 win over Hernando last week.

Jacquez Green, Manatee

We have to mention the former University of Florida standout in this poll as Green led his Hurricanes to a 34-27 victory over Buchholz. Manatee sits at 3-1 on the season.

Jamie Rodgers, Bradford

Rodgers just wants folks around the state to recognize that Bradford is one of the top programs around. Folks in Starke know this and he's led them to a 4-0 start after a 18-13 win over Mandarin.

Karl Calhoun, Sanford Seminole

Sanford Seminole wanted to make a statement when they welcomed a very talented Monarch team into town last week. Calhoun led his Seminoles to a thrilling 30-26 victory.

Adam Gore, Chiefland

Gore is very familiar with Chiefland and if anyone knows the Indians, it's him. Chiefland continued its winning ways and improved to 4-0 after a 38-20 win over Lafayette.
