Daniel Head was named the Athletic Director for the Coastal Alabama Community College athletic department on October 1, 2020, which is comprised of NJCAA memberships on the Bay Minette, Brewton, and Monroeville campuses. Head transitioned into the role having served as the Director of Athletics at the Coastal Alabama Community College campus in Monroeville, Ala. since 2011 and the Head Baseball Coach since 2008.
Head’s background with each community is very beneficial in helping to provide a strong level of leadership in the Monroeville, Bay Minette, and Brewton communities. In addition to his work experience as baseball coach in Monroeville, Head grew up and has lived and worked in the Bay Minette service area and is a former Brewton student-athlete and assistant baseball coach.
Head was integral in helping lead the athletic department through a rebranding and departmental realignment in 2023. The rebranding helped unify three previous mascot brands to establish the new, award winning, “Coyote” mascot brand for all of the Coastal Alabama athletic programs. During the realignment, he oversaw the effort to combine the Monroeville and Brewton athletic programs into what is now the Coastal Alabama North Coyotes competing at the NJCAA Division II level along with the Bay Minette athletic programs with what is now the Coastal Alabama South Coyotes competing at the NJCAA Division I level. Coastal Alabama Community College sponsors 21 total athletic programs over 3 campuses and communities.
In addition to his role as the Coastal Alabama Community College Athletic Director, Head serves as the ACCC (Alabama Community College Conference) Men’s Assistant Region Director and is the chair of the ACCC Baseball Sport committee. He also serves on the NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) Division 1 Baseball Committee & Division 1 Men’s Tennis Committee).
Prior to becoming head baseball coach in Monroeville in 2008, Head spent two years as an assistant coach there and helped recruit back-to-back, nationally ranked teams. Head was awarded Assistant Coach of the Year by the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association for the 2005-2006 season. Before arriving at the then-Alabama Southern Community College, Head spent one year as an assistant coach at Northwest Florida State College in Niceville, Fla. and one year as an assistant coach at the then-Jefferson Davis Community College in Brewton, Ala.
After graduating from Satsuma high school, he attended Jefferson Davis Community College where he was a part of the 1998 NJCAA National Championship team.
Head then transferred to his now alma mater, University of South Alabama, after two seasons at Jeff Davis, where he lettered two years and was an All-Conference pitcher for the Jaguars. After his college career, Head signed a professional contract with the Seattle Mariners organization and played four years of professional baseball, peaking at the Triple-A level.
Head and his wife Brooke have three children, Parker, Sophie, and Daxton.
