Mike Brevard improved North Side from a winless season in 2017 to a 5-6 mark in 2020
North Side High School football coach Mike Brevard has stepped down to take an assistant coaching position with the University of Saint Francis football program.
Brevard will serve as a linebackers coach at his alma mater, he announced in a post on Twitter.
"Coaching college football has always been a dream of mine," Brevard wrote. "I have learned to pursuie those dreams when you can because opportunities don't always come along."
Brevard was a linebacker for USF from 2010 through 2014, and the Indianapolis native says he's now home in joining Kevin Donley's staff.
Brevard grew North Side into a formidable foe, improving the team's record from 0-10 to 2-8 to 4-6 to 5-6 in his four seasons as head coach. North Side won its first postseason game in seven seasons when it beat Northrop 42-21 in the sectional semi-final in October.
"Thank you for leading the Legends in a way only you could," North Side football praised Brevard in a tweet. "Words will never be enough for everything you have done the last 4 years. We appreciate the countless hours you have put in and all of the life lessons you have taught us along the way."
"I pray that I have made a difference and left North Side betther than when I entered," Brevard added.
