Brad Anderson resigned as Wayzata football coach Monday afternoon after 18 seasons directing one of Minnesota's elite programs.
The Trojans won Prep Bowl titles in 2005, 2008 and 2010, a run of success in the large-school class surpassed only by Eden Prairie.
Called "Coach A" on the sidelines, Anderson, 53, set the program standard for career victories with a record of 156-47. He led the Trojans to five Prep Bowls in eight seasons from 2004 to '11 and had two undefeated seasons (2008 and 2010). Wayzata was 2-7 this year.
His departure, effective immediately, clears the way for Lambert Brown to take over. Brown, an assistant coach this season, had left his job as activities director at Maple Grove to become a health teacher at Wayzata.
"I've been a part of Wayzata football for almost the past 42 years, since I was in the youth league,'' Anderson said. "There was a lot of success that we can be proud of, and it was great for me to see so many young men who went on to be successful in life."
