Playing career

Pettine earned all-state honors as a quarterback and defensive back Central Bucks High School West. The head coach was his father, Mike Pettine, Sr., who is renowned in the area for compiling a record of 326–42–4 in 33 seasons and winning four state championships.[1][2]

Pettine played free safety at the University of Virginia,[3] graduating in 1988 with a bachelor's degree in economics.[4]

High school coaching

Pettine coached high school football in Pennsylvania at North Penn and William Tennent high schools after working as a graduate assistant at the University of Pittsburgh (1993–1994). He also spent four years as an assistant coach under his father at Central Bucks West High School. In 1999, a New York Times TV crew documented the North Penn football season for ESPN in a film titled The Season. The TV show consisted of two separate hours and followed the team behind the scenes during the 1999 season and highlighted the rivalry between North Penn and Central Bucks West.[2]
