Great move for North County in keeping it in the house and hiring coordinator Mike Phillips as their new head football coach.
Phillips, who served as a defensive coordinator last year, moved over to North County this past fall after helping resurrect Alisal as a coordinator.
Phillips is bright, insightful, calm under pressure and a perfect fit for a program that has had remarkable success over 29 years.
The thought process when Phillips came over was that he was being groomed for the head coaching job, as Bobby Cobarruvias had pretty much decided before the season started that he was going to retire after 10 years as the schools football coach.
Last year Cobarruvias guided North County to the postseason.
Don't be surprised to see North County make a move in the standings next fall.
