Report: Max Edwards named head football coach at Miami Jackson
One of South Florida’s most prominent head coaches will be returning to the sidelines in 2024.
Per a report by The Portal 305, Max Edwards will be the next head coach at Miami Jackson High School. The Generals went 3-7 last season and finished 7-4 in 2022. Edwards spent a decade as the head coach at Miami Northwestern.
Edwards led Northwestern to three straight state championships from 2017-2019, with the first title coming in a 21-16 win against Armwood for the Class 6A crown. His last three seasons with the Bulls, though, were not like the 3-peat run.
In the final three seasons, the Bulls went 19-11, which included an investigation back in 2020 regarding Edwards holding what the school district deemed “unauthorized athletic activities” in the Covid-19 season.
Edwards was suspended, but later on reinstated in June of 2020 and afterwards issuing an apology via social media. Northwestern since the 2020 has assuredly been a different program on the field, seeing the continued rise to prominence of neighboring rivals Miami Central and Miami Norland.
