Queen Creek (Ariz.) football hires Steve Huber as head coach

Queen Creek (Ariz.) football went into the off-season looking for their next head coach and Friday decided on who that next person will be for 2026.

According to a press release by the school, Queen Creek has tabbed Chandler defensive coordinator Steve Huber to be the Bulldogs’ next head football coach. Huber was the architect of a Chandler defense that helped the program reach the AIA Open Division state championship game in 2025.

“I’m honored and excited for the opportunity to lead Queen Creek football, a program held in high regard because of former head coach Travis Schureman and his staff. I look forward to continuing that success and developing long lasting relationships in the Queen Creek community,” Huber said in the press release about his appointment as Bulldogs’ head coach.

When it comes to experience as an assistant before becoming a head coach, Huber checks off most of the boxes one would want heading into the position.

Huber, who had previously served as a defensive analyst at San Diego State, also was one the staff of Fargo South (ND) and Fargo Shanley (ND) when each program won state championships.

Now the defensive-minded coach will head to Queen Creek, which is slated to return 2027 wide receiver Gavin Brown and 2028 tight end Brody Chapman, respectively.

The Bulldogs ended this past season with a 6-5 record and finished as one of the state’s best teams, ranked No. 22 in the final 2025 Arizona High School Football Massey Rankings.
