California high school football coach breaks silence after firing, canceled season

Nearly two months after canceling its 2026 varsity high school football season, Pasadena High School (CA) is moving on from its head coach. Ron Jones announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Nov. 3, that the school informed it was moving in another direction with the football program. Jones led the Bulldogs to their first CIF Southern Section football championship since 1933 just two seasons ago.

Thank you to our players, families, coaching staff, and the Pasadena and Altadena communities for your support. My full statement is below. pic.twitter.com/0WNB98dB5K — Ron Jones (@CoachRonJones) November 3, 2026 "This morning, Pasadena High School informed me that my time as a head football coach had come to an end," Jones wrote in a statement.
