Logan O’Brien, Passing Game Coordinator for the Southlake Carroll Dragons, shares the highs and lows of high school football coaching with The BeatiDudes.

Logan grew up playing football in San Angelo, Texas. As a junior, he helped his team snap a 21-game losing streak that season. After eight straight losses to start the year, they won the season's final two games. Logan then led the Bobcats to the first of nine straight playoff berths his senior season in 2010, including the program's first playoff win since 2006.

After high school, Logan played for Eastern New Mexico University, scoring a critical touchdown to win the coveted Wagon Wheel trophy against West Texas A&M.

Logan met his future wife, Taylor, at Quarterback Ranch, where he made his first flirting attempt in front of her dad and brother by asking, “Can I take your trash?” Although that might not have been the winning line, the courting continued, and the couple married in 2022. Taylor founded Candid Dating, a virtual speed dating platform for Catholics looking to skip the swipe and get some face time.

As a coach, Logan focuses on a potential player’s competitiveness, effort, and toughness, both physical and mental. In addition to coaching football in the fall and track in the spring, Logan also teaches Environmental Systems.
