Yorba Linda High School (Calif.) decided to promote from within rather than hire an outsider to oversee their football program for the 2026 season and beyond.
According to a report by the Orange County Register, the school has promoted assistant head coach Jeff Domen to become the programâs next lead man. Domen for the last two seasons served as the assistant head coach under Jeff Bailey.
âFootball has given me everything I have in my life,â Domen said in the report. âThatâs why I live to give back whatever I can. Weâre obviously in a very competitive league with some great coaches. Iâm excited for this opportunity to be in what I think is the best public-school football league in California, if not the nation.â
