David Green coached high school football for nearly five decades — 49 years to be exact.
His career began in South Carolina, but he ended up in Wake County as an assistant coach for longtime Apex coach Bob Wolfe. Later, he was hired as the head football coach at Leesville Road, taking over a program that had struggled to find wins.
Things changed pretty quickly under Green’s leadership. In six seasons, Green’s teams compiled records of 52-24, including a trip to the 4AA eastern regional championship game in 2007. It was a period when Wake County football stepped up its game after struggling to compete at the state level for a long time, and Leesville Road was a big part of that change.
Green left Leesville Road and Wake County to take over as the head coach at Williams in Alamance County. He later returned to Wake County as the head coach at Enloe, then at Green Hope, which was his last stop before retirement.
His career as a head coach in North Carolina helped Green establish a reputation of turning around struggling programs. He found success at every stop.
Though his time as a coach is done, Green has not stepped away from high school sports. In retirement, he is hosting his own podcast — “Did I Ever Tell You About…?” The podcast is about experiences and stories Green recalls from his 49 years on the sidelines. He’s a great storyteller, too.
In this interview, we discuss Green’s new podcast, his time as a high school coach, and his thoughts on how high school sports have evolved over the past 50 years. He’s concerned about the direction high school football is headed for many reasons.
