Cocoa Tigers Coach Signs Contract Extension Through 2028
Cocoa High School football coach, Eric Jones, has agreed to a contract extension through the 2027-2028 season. The move comes after consecutive playoff appearances by the Tigers, who compete in the 4A classification. Under Jones' leadership, Cocoa has posted a 22-6 record over the past two seasons. The extension is expected to solidify the program's recruiting efforts, as top prospects are drawn to established coaching staffs with long-term commitments. The Tigers' competitive position in the FHSAA's 4A district is also strengthened, as opponents may think twice before scheduling them. With a clear future direction in place, Jones and his staff can focus on preparing for the upcoming season, which begins in August. The Tigers will look to build on their recent success and make another deep playoff run.
