Jeff Woodruff (born February 22, 1957) is an American football coach. He is the head football coach at Andress High School in El Paso, Texas. Woodruff served as the head football coach at Eastern Michigan University from 2000 to 2003, compiling a record of 9–34. He was the assistant head coach and tight ends coach at the University of Texas at El Paso, and the head coach of Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village, California.
Coaching career
Woodruff began his coaching career as a tight ends coach and graduate assistant on the Kent State football staff in 1979, where he played as a quarterback and punter. Woodruff joined the University of Washington football staff as a graduate assistant from 1980 ro 1982 before moving to the University of Nevada, Reno for a season as the secondary coach and recruiting coordinator in 1983. He returned to the University of Washington staff in 1984 as quarterbacks coach under head coach Don James, moving up to the offensive coordinator position in 1992 and in 1993 under Jim Lambright.
After leaving the Washington program in January 1994, Woodruff became the head football coach at Cholla High School in Tucson, Arizona, before joining the University of Arizona staff as an assistant in 1998 under head coach Dick Tomey.[1]
Woodruff was the head football coach at Eastern Michigan University for four seasons, from 2000 until 2003. Woodruff's first season, in which the team posted a 3–8 record turned out to be the best of his tenure. Following a 38–10 loss to Central Michigan on November 1, 2003, athletic director Dave Diles, Jr. fired Woodruff, saying, "Jeff Woodruff has helped develop our program with quality young men, but the team is not on the competitive level that we felt should be after four years."[2]
After Eastern Michigan, Woodruff was hired by UTEP to become the tight ends coach for the Miners under head coach Mike Price, and was elevated to assistant head coach in 2007.
