Frank Milo, 1941-2024: He coached the East Bay school for 20 years, won eight league titles.
Former El Cerrito football coach Frank Milo, shown here wearing a white shirt in a file photo from 2016, died on Aug. 1, 2024. Frank Milo, who coached El Cerrito for 20 years and whose name adorns the stadium the Gauchos play in, died on Aug. 1 of natural causes. He was 83.
Milo was one of the few coaches who defeated De La Salle during the Concord powerhouse’s heyday, beating the Spartans 14-12 when future NFL kicker Doug Brien missed a short field goal in 1989. It was at San Francisco State that he became friends with Larry Quirico, his future coworker at El Cerrito and lifelong friend. “He was an honest guy with great integrity who would do things by the book,” Quirico, whose family would go to theatrical plays in San Francisco with Milos, told the Bay Area News Group on Monday. “He was a great teacher, great coach, and just a super, super person.”
The longtime Gauchos coach was also selected as one of the top 20 high school football coaches of the 20th century by the Contra Costa and Alameda county sports writers.
