Ex-Giant Robbie Gould becomes coach of high school football team

Former NFL kicker Robbie Gould, who spent one season with the New York Giants (2016), has been named the head football coach at Rolling Meadows High School in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.

Gould kicked for 18 seasons in the NFL, primarily for the Chicago Bears, where he set a franchise record for career points and was a Pro Bowl selection.

Gould played 10 games for the Giants in 2016 after spending 11 seasons in Chicago. He joined the team in October after the Giants dumped Josh Brown after reports of domestic abuse allegations broke. Gould made all 10 of his field goal attempts.

Gould signed with the San Francisco 49ers the next season and spent six years with them before retiring in 2022.

His 1,961 points are 10th on the NFL’s all-time scoring list and he went 29-for-29 in the postseason on field goal attempts, an NFL record.
