The Chargers Coach of the Week (COW) program, sponsored by the U.S. Army, recognizes high school coaches who, through their hard work and dedication to young people, have made a difference in the lives of their players, community and schools. The program also provides high schools with financial assistance to help fund their athletic programs.  Each week during the 2009 high school football season, the Chargers will proudly announce their selection for San Diego County High School Coach of the Week as part of KUSI’s Prep Pigskin Report.   The winner will receive a $1,500 donation from the Chargers Community Foundation and the U.S. Army to the school's athletic department.
 
At the end of the season, one outstanding coach will be selected as the Chargers 2009 “Coach of the Year” and will be announced live during the Prep Pigskin Report’s annual Silver Pigskin Gala show.  In recognition of his selection, the 2009 Coach of the Year will receive a $2,500 donation for his school’s athletic department.
 
The following coaches were highlighted for their outstanding contributions to their community and high school football programs in 2008.
