Head Coach Of Northwest's Football Team Steps Down After 10 Years

GERMANTOWN, MD — After 10 years as the head football coach for Northwest High School in Germantown, Mike Neubeiser is stepping down.

"I believe we accomplished our goals," Neubeiser said in a statement on Twitter. "We turned Northwest into a respectable program and most importantly helped many young men become more disciplined and productive members of our society."

During his tenure, Neubeiser has led the Jaguars to two Maryland state championships — one in 2013 and another in 2014.

In 2019, Northwest made it to the state championship game but lost to Wise 35-14.

"(The players) were willing to work hard, get good grades, be respectful, and be positive leaders in our school. In return for their dedication, our players were rewarded with victories and sometimes championships," Neubeiser said. "It's not a coincidence that the most successful teams were the most dedicated and disciplined groups. It's amazing how football is a microcosm of real life."

In his statement, Neubeiser said he will continue teaching physical education at the high school.

"I will always cherish the memories and relationships that we built," he said. "I will continue to teach PE at Northwest and look forward to eventually getting back to in-person instruction. I will miss being your head coach but will be a Jag for life."
