De Anza College Head Football Coach - 5x Conference Title Winner
MEET COACH JOE D'AGOSTINO De Anza Head Football Coach, Joe D’Agostino, enters his 16th year in the California community college system. His career includes coaching and teaching assignments at Reedley College, Merced College, and West Hills College-Coalinga, College of Sequoias before joining De Anza in January of 2022. On this journey Joe has worked in a variety of roles, including offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, assistant head coach, and head coach. Over the years, his teams have won five conference titles and compiled a record of 105-56 (.650 winning percentage). To this point, he has placed 89% of his football players beyond the community college level – including 79 on scholarship at the NCAA Division I FBS level. Nine of his former student-athletes played in the NFL – including three currently in the league: CB Steven Nelson (Philadelphia Eagles), CB Robert Jackson (Baltimore Ravens), and first-round draft pick DT Sheldon Richardson (Minnesota Vikings). Under D’Agostino's tutelage, 19 student-athletes have earned Junior College All-American status. He recruited and coached the National Player of the Year in 2008 (Reedley QB/WR, Darius Reynolds) and 2019 (Sequoias DE, Noah Wright). Much of this on field success he has credited to his commitment to the implementation and development of the off the field program (Football Academic Success Team aka - FAST) that mentors student-athletes throughout the year.
