Over the weekend, the Gulf Breeze Dolphins hired former NFL veteran, Erik Harris, as their new head football coach. He is tasked of rebuilding the Dolphins football program which has a record of 19-29 with two playoff appearances in Florida since the 2020 season. It will not be an easy task, but Harris has the football pedigree and knowhow to successfully turn this program around in the Panhandle.
“We are THRILLED to welcome ERIK HARRIS as our new Head Football Coach! NFL veteran with stops in New Orleans, Oakland, Atlanta, and Philadelphia — Bringing championship-level experience to Gulf Breeze, ready to develop our young Dolphins into champions on and off the field,” said the Gulf Breeze High School Football team on X/Twitter.
Harris was in the NFL for eight years with four different teams: the Saints, the Raiders, the Falcons and the 49ers. During his entire career, he amassed 267 tackles and 27 passes defended. A player with a “never give up” attitude and mentality, the former NFL veteran has the chance to continue the football journey of others and inspire potential future NFL players with his hard work and dedication.
Welcome to Pensacola Harris and family!
