TEAM COACHES
Thank you to our experienced, knowledgeable, and fun coaches who make the birmingham patriots program a success!
FOOTBALL | VARSITY HEAD COACH
Coach Darren Clark
Coach Darren Clark has coached the Patriots for 8 years and has 10+ years of experience coaching youth athletes! He coached several youth sports and enjoys being a small part of who these athletes become. Coach Clark's favorite part of being a coach is watching the kids grow up and become leaders on and off the field, but also watching the kids he coached since they were 6 years old now run on the football field under the Friday night lights! Coach Clark works in the automotive industry and enjoys family time, vacations, and sports!
FOOTBALL | JV HEAD COACH
COACH JOSH BRYANT
FOOTBALL | FRESHMAN HEAD COACH
COACH BARRY SUTTON
Coach Barry Sutton coached three undefeated teams during his coaching career and is looking forward to his 16th year with the Birmingham Patriots. One of his favorite coaching moments is when the Patriots won the Superbowl and his son looked at his medal, then at him and said "Thanks for being such a big part of this Dad!" To Coach Sutton, the rewarding moments of coaching are watching the players grow into young adults and seeing their successes after leaving the program. In addition to coaching Patriots, he coaches the Birmingham Groves Football team and previously coached lacrosse and baseball. When he is not on the field, Coach Sutton is spending time with his wife, Nicole, and his four kids. Coach Sutton is a national trial defense Attorney specializing in product liability claims, including outdoor products.
