What is Deep Dish Football and Who is the Panel?
Deep Dish Football at one time was not named Deep Dish Football but just a old group of coaches in the 50's that would hang out at Southside Neighborhood Bar Saturday night and talk about there week in coaching. Soon these coaches got old and retired and passed on the tradition to other coaches (i.e. Sons and other younger coaches). In 2014 disgusted with what was going in Illinois High School football with greed, too many middle men, parents, coaches not fit to coach. (FORUMS, Message Boards trashing kids and talking about injuries) People just making a profit to gain on kids dreams to be playing college football. In many instances college coaches have reached out saying that they dont even know these so-called recruiting journalists. They decided to have some fun and meet up to mock some of the so-called media "experts" (WHO NEVER COACHED IN THEIR LIFE OR SCOUTED) in high school football and their players to watch. Not to mention the fact that most of do not care about the sport of football and just see easy dollar signs. Also one of the main things too, was people saying they represented the whole state of Illinois but never been south of Joliet in their life. 5 Publishers have been selected and all five have done a wonderful job except for some hiccups.
From 2015-2020 A Panel of coaches use to do the rankings, but since of busy schedules they decided hang up the rankings format. Publisher is responsible for Watchlist, Coverage, and Awards given during the season.
In Winter of 2016 Coach Big Pete was selected as Publisher 6 of Deep Dish Football and was the first publisher given full reign to go PUBLIC.
Since 2019 Spring- Deep Dish Football Has Done Free Recruiting Seminars. On December 2019- Coach Big Pete will be doing FREE Recruiting Counseling Sessions with football recruits and families for more info please email
