Brooks School (Mass.) football tabs Spencer Emerson as head coach

It didn’t take former Falmouth (ME) head coach Spencer Emerson , who accepted a job to become the University of New Hampshire’s Director of Operations earlier this year, long to find himself right back into the realm of high school football in the New England region. Emerson posted on social media Thursday afternoon that he will be stepping down from his position at the University of New Hampshire to become the head football coach at Brooks School (Mass. ), which is a member of the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC).

“I am appreciative of my opportunity with University of New Hampshire Football and the chance to be part of this historic program,” Emerson said in a statement. “I recognize the timing of this transition may raise questions, as my time at UNH has been short, but this decision was not made without deep consideration. This opportunity aligns with what’s best for my family and my long term goals.

I will finish the spring ball season at UNH and officially begin at Brooks this summer. ” Major Announcement @BrooksSchool @BrooksFb pic. twitter.

Emerson had been tabbed as the Falmouth head coach back in the spring of 2024, previously having served as the offensive coordinator for the University of Chicago. In taking over a Navigators’ program that went 2-6 in 2023, Emerson produced immediate results at Falmouth.
