SARASOTA (SNN-TV) – Sailors’ director of athletics Shane Ahles announced Monday afternoon Josh Phillips is the new football coach.
A former defensive coordinator at Manatee High, Phillips replaces Brody Wiseman, who coached the Sailors the past three seasons.
After attending Lake Highland Prep in Orlando, Phillips went to Yale University where he played on both sides of the ball and ran track. Locally, Phillips coached at Bradenton Christian School as former coach Greg Williford’s offensive coordinator before landing at Manatee for a season.
The Sailors were 5-5 last season, reaching the Class 4 Suburban playoffs defeating Manatee High in the first round before losing to Riverview in the regional quarterfinals.
