“The competition for the head coaching position was both exhilarating and extensive. Our committee meticulously reviewed and assessed the candidates, unanimously determining that Mark was not only the best person to lead our program but also to construct a legacy of success. His wealth of experience, unwavering passion, unparalleled intensity, and proven track record align perfectly with the vision we have for Mount Vernon Football. I eagerly anticipate witnessing the enthusiasm and success his program will bring to Friday nights,” remarked Justin Sanford, Athletic Director.
Residing in Knox County with his wife Kati and sons Lucas (9) and Archie (4), Coach Mark Weber and his family, who moved to the area approximately 8 months ago, have established their forever home on family property.
“We are excited to begin our journey as Mount Vernon Jackets, our house operates by three principles: Faith, Family, Football! Football stands for much more than just a game—it stands for excellence in academics and athletics. My sons understand that how you do anything is how you do everything. Striving for excellence in every facet of life is no easy task!
Assuming responsibility for 80 new sons is a duty I hold in the highest regard. Our mission is clear: we aim for our student-athletes to be champions in the classroom, community, and on the field,” said Weber.
