Pacific High football coach Mike Aragon, was thrown into a difficult position in August.
After only one season as an assistant coach at Pacific under the legendary Don Markham, he was forced to step in as head coach when Markham had to step down for health reasons. The above video was shot shortly after he was hired.
Although he worked across the street at juvenile hall, Aragon wasn’t on-campus so his future was very uncertain beyond this year.
But with a record of 4-5 going into tonight’s rivalry game with San Bernardino, Aragon has done extremely well in tough circumstances. So, will he be back next year? He wants to be, and he thinks he got a vote of confidence recently, when he spoke to the school’s new principal and the principal said he wanted to talk to Aragon to find out what his program needs. Aragon got the impression it was more not if he would be back, but what he needed for the future.
