About Coach Greg Vandagriff

Greg Vandagriff has been coaching football for the more than 25 years. He began his career coaching as a graduate assistant at Tennessee Tech University in 1990. Others who served on that staff are current NFL coaches Gerald Brown (Falcons RB) and  former Atlanta Falcons Head Coach and current Tamp Bay Buccaneers Defensive Coordinator, Mike Smith. After receiving his Masters degree, Greg served as the Defensive Coordinator in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at Christian Life Academy.  After 5 years and a 50-13 record, he was afforded the opportunity to move to Georgia and serve as the Head Football Coach at Campbell and Kell High Schools, serving three years at each.

Currently, he is the Head Football Coach for Prince Avenue Christian School in Bogart, Georgia.  Prior to his current role, Coach Vandagriff served as the Defensive Coordinator at Woodward Academy for more than 10 seasons. After progressing to their "check with me" defensive philosophy, the War Eagle defensive units were routinely ranked in the top ten in the state. Also, Coach has been speaking for the Glazier Clinics for the past 15 years and consistently is rated as one of the top ten High School Defensive Speakers in the country.

Coach Vandagriff runs the Multiple 43 defense that he has modified and developed to be easily implemented into any school or program. The past six seasons, his defensive units have surrendered only 12 points a game during the regular season. His defensive philosophy allows coordinators to have enough ammunition and answers to have success against all of the offensive philosophies that we currently face on a weekly basis. The adjustments are easy and simple and thus the players are able to play fast and aggressive. He addresses short yardage and long yardage situations with consistent concepts that allow the teaching process to flow through all facets of the defense.
