Buena Park has offered its football coaching position to former Fullerton standout player Dustin Sober, Coyotes principal Sonje Berg said Monday night.
Berg said Sober, 33, is going through the clearance process with the Fullerton Joint Union High School District but has been “formally” offered the Buena Park position.
Sober would replace Davis Lowery, who resigned after a 1-9 season as Buena Park’s first-year coach last season. Lowery took over for Anthony White, who in seven seasons turned the struggling Coyotes into consistent winners and a Freeway League champion in 2016.
Sober was a standout linebacker at Fullerton, graduating in 2002. He later played at Fullerton College and New Mexico State. Sober was an assistant coach at Fullerton College for 10 seasons before stepping away the past two seasons to work on his teaching career.
He expects to teach social studies at Buena Park.
“He’s going to be an instant game-changer for us,” Berg said. “We’re very excited to have him on board!”
