Mike Roark


Hi, My name is Mike Roark, Sorry for taking so long to fix this site. I have coached at High School and Collge. Where I am at next year is a good question. The best thing I did for my family was move back to Virginia. As I am typing this I just realized I have been involved with Football since 1968. Dang! That is a long time ago! The scary thing is if I had to do it over, not even a question. Before I get started I do want to say this little sentimental piece. First I just want to say how lucky I am. I have to thank to my wife Jennifer because, as we all know, it takes a special woman to put up with a coach. Plus, she has given me a beautiful daughter, Jacy Elizabeth.  With Jennifer I am a very lucky man. Next; we are the way we are because of the coaches who have influenced our lives, either as a player or as an assistant coach. I strongly believe that this can happen anytime in our careers. So for the record I just want to say thanks to My High School Coach, Dennis Moody back in our Gretna days, Steve Sutton, Head Coach at West Hills High School and to Ken Visser, Head Coach at Chapman University. These 3 men have impacted my life in more ways than they will ever know and I just want to say Thanks! So, in closing, remember. Life is easy. 1. God 2. Family 3. Education 4. Passion

(Back to Football)

I have been coaching high school and college for a long time and I have always had my nose somewhere on the defensive side. Defensive coaches are a unique breed, We truly believe that you can be a lesser athlete but with more heart, desire, love to hit, and you play with 11, not 1, you will find a way to win!
