Northwest Catholic High School President Dave Eustis has announced that Brett Quinion has been named the new head football coach at the school. Brett replaces long-time coach, Mike Tyler ’73, who retired from coaching at the end of the 2014 football season.

Brett served as the defensive coordinator at Bristol Eastern High School from 1999-2002. In 2002, he was named head coach at Avon High School, achieving an overall record of 68-37. In Brett’s last five years as coach at Avon, he accumulated a record of 46-5 with five consecutive Pequot League Championships and three trips to the CIAC State Tournament. He stepped down as head coach in Avon at the end of the 2012 season.

From 1976-2012, Brett Quinion was the owner and founder of Quinoco, Inc, a retail fuel oil company based out of Bristol, CT.

“I consider it a great honor and privilege to be coaching football at Northwest Catholic High School,” said Quinion. “Coach Tyler and his program have been a model of excellence and consistency. We will strive to represent our school well and continue to keep the Northwest Catholic tradition going.”

NWC President Dave Eustis states, “Brett is a welcome addition to the Northwest athletic department and community. I believe his style and experience will be wonderful for current and future student-athletes at Northwest Catholic. We look forward to Brett’s leadership in the years to come.”
