After 30 years in the college game, Jeff Woodruff is taking over one of California's top programs.

Woodruff, who has been the assistant head coach to Mike Price at UTEP since 2007, has been named the new head coach at Oaks Christian.  Woodruff also has head coaching experience at the college level when he lead Eastern Michigan from 2000 to 2003.

Woodruff takes over for Bill Redell, who resigned in March as the school's only head coach.  Redell won seven CIF-Southern Section championships.

The only head football coach that Oaks Christian has ever had, is retiring.

After 12-years with the Lions, Bill Redell is stepping down as the head coach of the program.  The 70-year old Redell retires with an incredible record of 144-17-1 at the school with seven CIF-Southern Section titles.

Redell, who also coached at Crespi and St. Francis, amassed an overall record of 233-65-3.

A nationwide search will be conducted to find a replacement, although there are several assistants on Redell's staff that could be promoted into the head coaching position.
