Floyd Burnsed is coaching his sixth season as the Dons head coach and is returning to Lamorinda having coached the Miramonte Matadors from 1982-2000. He then left for the college ranks and built the Solano CC program from the ground up and led the Falcons to a 5-5 record and No. 18 ranking in Northern California in 2002. This will be his 44th season coaching football.

A long-time Vallejo resident and Miramonte High coach, Burnsed established himself as one of the top high school coaches in the nation by compiling a 154-62-2 record while winning 10 league championships and four North Coast Section championships. Burnsed was named Contra Costa County "Coach of the Year" three times, 1983 Champion "Coach of the Year", the San Francisco 49ers 1996 "Coach of the Year" and the North Coast Section "Coach of the Year" in 2000. He was inducted into the Miramonte Athletic Hall of Fame in 2018.

While at Solano, the quality of the players produced by the Burnsed-led coaching staff continued to attract national attention. Draak Davis, the 2002 Bay Valley Conference "Player of the Year", posted one of the best seasons ever by a college running back, which included scoring eight touchdowns in one game. He later signed with the University of Kentucky, where he became the Wildcats' starter.

Along with Davis, Burnsed has had the honor of coaching current Carolina Panthers QB Coach Ken Dorsey and former national champion QB at the University of Miami, Tennessee Titans starting wide receiver Drew Bennett, who was also a former quarterback at UCLA.  At Solano he coached Patrick McCoy, who won several awards in his two years playing Division II at West Texas A&M, and became a member of the Philadelphia Eagles. He also coached lineman Mike Gibson, who starred at Cal before playing for the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals. Burnsed is known for being one of the best quarterbacks coaches in the nation. He has coached eight quarterbacks who have signed with NCAA programs in his twenty seasons at Miramonte High.

Burnsed's coaching career began in 1974 at Russellville High in Kentucky, where he served as the offensive coordinator. He became the offensive coordinator at Lamar High in Houston in 1979 before taking the job at Miramonte in 1982. Burnsed became the Solano coach in November 2000. He has a masters degree from Western Kentucky University (1976). He and his wife, Carolyn, reside in Vallejo with their two Australian Shepherds, Cody and Sadie.
