Bishop head coach David McHugh has been named the next head coach at Corpus Christi Miller, Corpus Christi ISD announced on Tuesday.

McHugh replaces Justen Evans, who departed to take over at Denton Braswell. 

McHugh, who was named head coach at Bishop just over a year ago, led the Badgers to a 5-6 record and a playoff appearance in his lone season.

“Considering the success Miller has had the past nine seasons under Coach Evans, it was a really intriguing opportunity to explore," McHugh said. "Some of the best athletes in the Coastal Bend have come through Miller. They’ve had lots of sub-varsity success and there’s unreal support from the community. The Miller alumni base supports the Bucs like no other. I’d put them up against anyone in Texas."

Prior to coming to Bishop, McHugh spent time as an offensive coordinator at his alma mater, Ingleside. The McMurry University graduate also spent time on staff at Taft, Mathis and San Antonio TMI. McHugh’s twin brother Matt McHugh is currently on staff at SMU. 

“Bishop bought in and put their faith in a young coach. It really means a lot to me," he said. "Everything about this place is family oriented and they love on you. That makes hard to say goodbye. The kids from Day 1 truly bought in and put their best foot forward and I really appreciate and love those guys. Bishop’s going to win a lot of football games in 2026 and I’m excited to see what they do. I hope I left it a little better than I found it."

With the late timeline of the hire, McHugh says he plans on getting right to work. 

“There’s no time to sit around," he said. "Our Week 1 game isn’t getting moved just because I got here late. We are going to jump in and get to work here at the end of the year and get ready for summer strength work and 7-on-7. This place has had so much success and my job is to elevate that and take it another level.”
