May 8, 2023 – Michael Mull has been named head football coach at Burbank High School. This will be the first varsity football head coaching job for Mull. 

Mull served as the head defensive coordinator for San Antonio Taft High School for the past five seasons, which included three playoff appearances. Prior to Taft, he was the first assistant defensive coordinator at San Benito High School for 12 seasons. 

The Texas A&M University Kingsville graduate will inherit a Burbank Bulldogs team that has made the state playoffs three times in the last six years, including last fall’s 7-4 finish and bi-district appearance against Lockhart. He replaces Wendell Harris, who moved on to become the head football coach at LEE High School in San Antonio.
 
“It’s a blessing,” said Mull, a native of San Benito, Texas. “Going into this job, I am not thinking about wins or losses. I am about building a culture and a relationship with the community and trying to develop kids to be the best. Not just the best athlete, but the best person they can be. That is what I have done everywhere I have been. And the byproduct of that has been winning. So, I am going to continue to use that formula – building great men – and let the winning come.” 

Mull plans to coach a multiple 3-3 attack style defense and a fast tempo, spread to run offense at Burbank.  

"I am very excited for Coach Mull to have this opportunity,” said Fred Anthony, SAISD senior executive director of Athletics. “He emphasizes athletic and academic success, and we are excited for the Burbank community."
