Background

About Dru Smith

I am an extremely hard worker who puts a lot of enthusiasm, passion, and pride into my work. I am dedicated to becoming the best coach and mentor I can be for young men. I have been involved with either playing or coaching football since I was seven years old. I have my entry-level mathematics and physical education teaching credential in California and Nevada. I am a leader, great communicator, and a problem solver that can excel in any position that I am put into. I am looking for an opportunity to make football as my career. Whether this be a position coach and or a professor at the collegiate level. I am also open to be a head football coach at a high school that wants to compete that the highest level possible. For the past 12 years I have been coaching football at the high school level. In that time, I have quickly moved my way up from a position coach, to a defensive coordinator on the JV level, to offensive coordinator on the varsity level, to a head coach of my own program. I took a school, that won 3 games in two years and was outscored 69-500 the year before i took over to the school's first and only CIF Championship in my 4th year as head coach. After 5 years as a head coach I wanted to take another step in my coaching career. In 2021 I took a coaching position at one of the top football programs in the nation, Bishop Gorman High School. My first year at Bishop Gorman High School I was the freshman offensive line coach. After one year I was promoted to Varsity TE coach and special teams coach. The 2022 season will be my first year in this role. Each time I presented with a new challenge I quickly improved the areas that I was in charge of. I have never coached at the collegiate level before, but I am extremely enthusiastic about any opportunity that may present itself. I am looking to get my foot in the door and know I can be a great leader, coach, and mentor of young men. Experienced Mathematics and Physical Education Teacher with a demonstrated history of working in the education management industry. Skilled in Coaching, Secondary Education, Classroom Management, Lesson Planning, and Learning Disabilities. Strong education professional with a Master of Education (MEd) focused in Specializing in Best Practices from National University.
