The EVSC Board of School Trustees approved the appointment of Sean Coultis as the new head football coach at Central High School. Coultis has served as a head football coach and an offensive and defensive coordinator in both Indiana and Illinois for 12 years.
Coultis graduated from Indiana University with a B.A. in Kinesiology. He also holds a M. A. in Special Education from Concordia University and also is a USA Weightlifting Certified Coach. Most recently, Coultis was the varsity defensive coordinator at Bolingbrook High school in Illinois. While at Bolingbrook, he taught athletic weights in the kinetic wellness department.
Under his leadership and assistance, Bolingbrook High School won the 8A (largest class in Illinois) state championship in 2011. During his tenure at Bolingbrook, the football program had an 80-19 regular season record. The 2013 Bolingbrook team finished the regular season undefeated and were the conference champions. The team finished the season as the number one ranked team in Illinois, and Bolingbrook defense allowed a state leading average of only eight points a game. Throughout his coaching experience, Coultis coached multiple NFL and Division 1 football players.
Prior to his current coaching at Bolingbrook, Coultis served as head varsity football coach at New Albany High School during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Under his leadership, the team won nine games after winning only one game the prior season before his arrival. In addition to his work on the field, Coultis has served as a featured speaker at many Glazier football clinics throughout the Midwest.
“Coach Coultis is excited to become a Bear and work with our students both inside and outside of the classroom, said Andy Owen, EVSC director of athletics. “He brings a wealth of experience both on and off the field, and comes to the EVSC as a very highly recommended teacher and coach. He is committed to building upon the current youth and high school football programs. He has the passion, knowledge and energy to continue to move Central’s football program in the right direction.â€
