Ross Rogers Named New Bryan HS Football Coach

Ross & Phyllis Rogers at Monday night's Bryan ISD Board of Trustees meeting.

The Bryan ISD school board has named former A&M Consolidated coach Ross Rogers the new head football coach at Bryan High School.

While Rogers, 59, has been out of coaching since after the 2006 season, his resume includes 12 years at Consolidated where he coached the Tigers to four straight 14-win seasons, including the 1991 4A State Title. He left Consol after the 1999 season and started the Harker Heights program in 2000 and stayed seven years. He has since been a sales rep for Riddell.

Before Consol, Rogers coached at Hempstead, Waller and Giddings.

Rogers took the job at A&M Consolidated in 1988 changed the path of a struggling program that had only won more than six games once (1977) since 1953.

He led the Tigers to a state-record four consecutive 14-win seasons from 1989-92. That run included three state final appearances and the 1991 4A championship. He chalked up 103 wins in 12 years.

In 2000, Rogers returned to his childhood hometown of Killeen to start-up the football program in Harker Heights, as KISD split from two to four high schools.
In seven seasons at Harker Heights, Rogers was 52-27 with six trips to the playoffs.
