Pearland Football 2022

As a sophomore, Gotte helped the Tigers to the state final against Plano. He also coached under
Johnston from 2001-2003 as an assistant offensive line coach and was assistant coach and offensive
coordinator under Gary Joseph, who succeeded Johnston in 2004, from 2009-2016 after stints at Deer
Park, La Marque, and Flower Mound Marcus.
Gotte, who spent kindergarten through high school in Katy, said the move is bittersweet.
“I’ve worked so hard to get (Paetow) to where it’s at,” he said. “I wish I could’ve enjoyed it a bit
more, because now I’m turning around and starting over again. At the same time, coaching is unique.
Good jobs open up every now
and then, every 5-10 years,
and this is one of those good
jobs.”
Coach Gotte is vested in
process, development, and
growth that will bring ex-
citement to the program,
campus, and community. He
leads by example and will be
a great leader and role model
for Pearland ISD.
The impact of his strong
leadership has already been
felt by the coaching staff
and players and it is having a
positive influence in the right
direction.
Gotte received a Bachelor’s
degree from Texas Lutheran
where he was an outstanding
football player in college.
He is married to wife, Lisa, who is a Regional Residential Property Manager, and they have two chil-
dren, Keegan (13) and Gavin (8).
Gotte enjoys spending time with family and friends.
