Coach Mike Jordan is a true Griffin. He was a ball boy in the 1970's when Grossmont won a state title under the leadership of All-American QB, Joe Roth. In the late 80's he quarterbacked a team that played in the SD Bowl and earned All-Conference and All-State honors.

He accepted a scholarship to San Jose State, and upon graduation joined the Grossmont teaching and coaching staff.

In 1994, he took over as offensive coordinator and over the next 16 years developed some of the best offenses in the state. Twice they were #1 rated in the entire state. At that time, eight of his QBs, none with offers out of high school, were given scholarships to major universities, including Chad DeGrenier (Washington State), Akili Smith (Oregon) and Jordan Adams (Nebraska).

Jordan succeeded his father Dave, as Grossmont's Head Coach in 2006.
