Bracket is credited with turning around a downtrodden program he took over in 2000. The Hornets were 120-67 under Bracket. They were undefeated in Marin County Athletic Play for three straight years (2006-2008) played in the state bowl game in 2007.

"He did to Novato football what the (former) mayor of New York City, (Rudy) Giuliani, did to New York City. I mean, he brought that program into a program that's second to none and he did great things here. But I feel good about his replacement, Jason Searle."
