17th year at B-CU

For Greg Ross, he is the most tenured coach on the Bethune-Cookman College coaching staff, besides head coach Alvin B. Wyatt, Sr., as he begins his 17th season with the Wildcats program this year. As one of the senior members, Ross will be in charge of coaching the quarterbacks once again this season.

Working inside the vaunted "Wyattbone" offensive attack, the quarterback is one of the most influential and important positions with the Wildcats program. Ross first arrived at Bethune-Cookman as the quarterbacks coach for former head coach Larry Little and stayed on the staff with current head coach Alvin B. Wyatt, Sr.

In his first years at Bethune-Cookman, Ross helped to lead the Wildcats to the 1988 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) championship. Since that time, he has been in charge of making some of the names now notorious at B-CC, into their current historical status such as former quarterbacks Allen Suber and Pa'Tell Troutman. Both quarterbacks worked the option to the proverbial "T", and claimed All-MEAC honors before departing from their alma mater.

He was hired to Bethune-Cookman after serving for one year at nearby Mainland High School in Daytona Beach. At Mainland, Ross helped the Buccaneers in attaining a District Class 5-A (AAAAA) State Runner-up in 1996 as he coached both the quarterbacks and receivers. The Buccaneers also made it to the Regional Semi-final contest in '96.

Before his coaching sting at Mainland, Ross spent four seasons at traditional power Father Lopez Catholic High School, also located in Daytona Beach. He was instrumental in helping the Green Wave to a set of appearances in the Florida Class 2-A (AA) State Playoff games. Ross served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Father Lopez.

Ross first arrived at B-CC as a quarterback himself, and played and lettered for four (4) years under Larry Little. He was a major part of the Wildcats claiming the 1984 MEAC title with the team that went 7-3 overall and scored an average of 28.2 points per game in a stifling air attack, mixed with a solid ground game. He still sits at seventh place on the B-CC all-time list for passing yards in a career with 3,366 and 23 touchdowns.

During his high school playing days at the historical Miami Central High School in his hometown of Miami, Fla., Ross displayed a great show of skill in being named as an All-State honoree. Ross is a 1987 graduate of Bethune-Cookman College, having earned a degree in Physical Education.

Ross and his wife Stephanie, a native of California, have two sons together in Gregory Ross, Jr. (15) and Keith (10). Together, they live in Daytona Beach.
