Jordan came to San Antonio after spending the past five years as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator under Marcus Shavers at McKinney High School near Dallas, helping turn the program into a state contender. During the 2023 season, he was the interim head coach for two games, leading the Lions to victories in both contests. McKinney finished the year with a 9-3 overall record after advancing to the area round of the Class 6A Division II playoffs. He helped lead McKinney to the third round of the playoffs in 2022, as the Lions finished the campaign with an 8-5 mark. He helped develop numerous NCAA Division I players, including Xavier Filsaime.
Prior to his tenure at McKinney High, Jordan was the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for three of his four seasons (2015-18) at West Mesquite High School in the Metroplex. In his second season with the program, the Wranglers advanced to the second round of the state playoffs. He also served as the recruiting coordinator and helped aid more than 40 student-athletes earn scholarships to college, including the late Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe, whose No. 22 jersey numbers have been retired forever at Utah. He also was the head track & field coach at West Mesquite, guiding three relay teams to the region track meet in 2016.
Jordan got his coaching start at Allen High School and Ford Middle School in 2012-13. Jordan served as a varsity assistant at Allen High school where he helped the Eagles to two state titles.
A standout athlete at Dallas Bishop Lynch High School, Jordan rushed for 1,800 yards and 21 touchdowns and racked up 550 receiving yards as a senior, leading the Friars to the 2023 state championship while earning all-state honors.
