Legacy Charter hires Brandon Bristow as next football coach

Legacy Charter School has named Brandon Bristow as its next football coach, taking over for interim Jed Ebersole, who will remain on staff as defensive coordinator. 

Bristow joins the Eagles program after spending time in a variety of coaching roles across both football and basketball, most recently serving as the head girls hoops coach at Astronaut High.

“I’ve been all over the place,” Bristow said. “I’ve been a head basketball coach, an assistant football coach, quarterbacks coach, a JV offensive coordinator. I’ve literally coached a little bit of everything all over the state.”

Directly prior to being tapped to take over the Ocoee-based charter school program, the first-time head football coach wasn’t coaching.  

“I wasn’t coaching before applying for this job,” he said. “I was just teaching at Seabreeze High in Volusia County. I just saw this coaching position open and thought I’d reach out. I’ve been coaching for a long time and figured this would be a good opportunity to take my chance as a head football coach.”
