Today I stepped down as Head Coach at Falmouth H.S.
I’m incredibly grateful for the relationships and memories made the past few years.
Coaching these players and working alongside such supportive families, staff, boosters, and supporters was a privilege. Thank you to the entire Falmouth community for the trust and support you showed me and my family.
Emerson had been tabbed as the Falmouth head coach back in the spring of 2024, previously having served as the offensive coordinator for the University of Chicago. In taking over a Navigators’ program that went 2-6 in 2023, Emerson produced immediate results at Falmouth.
Falmouth went 11-0 in Emerson’s first year, winning the Maine Principal’s Association (MPA) Class B state championship. This past season Emerson guided the team back to the postseason, but fell in the second round.

When Emerson took over the program, he was taking on a difficult situation as Falmouth had just parted ways with longtime head coach John Fitzsimmons.
According to the final Maine High School Football Massey Rankings for the 2025 season, Falmouth finished as the state’s No. 11 ranked team.
