HSSS-Chad Broadrick

  Tate is joined by Chad Broadrick, the newly appointed head football coach at Centennial High School. Broadrick, formerly the defensive coordinator at Pope John Paul II and a former head coach at East Robertson and White House Heritage, shares his excitement about joining the Centennial community. He highlights the "vertical alignment" and strong support system at the school, ranging from the administration to the quarterback club and parent base. Having already begun meeting the student-athletes, Broadrick notes the impressive, high-energy environment at Centennial, particularly praising the school's student section and atmosphere during recent basketball games against Franklin High. Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Broadrick outlines a coaching philosophy centered on "connection" and "toughness." Offensively, he intends to maintain continuity by trusting returning staff to build upon last year's successful power-run and play-action schemes. Defensively, he plans to implement a versatile "build-a-bear" front that can shift between four-man and three-man looks to stop the run and attack pass protections. Broadrick is eager to lead the Cougars through a challenging schedule that includes rivals like Independence, Page, and Franklin, with the ultimate goal of establishing Centennial as a consistent state championship contender.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
