Dino Garr on Coaching, Winning, and Living a Lifetime in Rye

After 51 years of coaching (44 years at Rye High School), Dino Garr isn’t just a legend, he’s the winningest coach in New York State history! So what motivates this feisty 78-year-old to keep coming back season after season?

Join us on June 9th (Whitby Castle at 10:00 a.m.) when Coach Garr will share some of his fondest memories about coaching and what it was like growing up in Rye.

While Coach Garr’s career accomplishments could fill many pages, here are some of the highlights:

  • Career Record: Holds a historic 375–114–9 overall coaching record. State Record: Passed Howie Vogts in September 2025 to claim the all-time New York state wins record.

  • Championships: Guided teams to five NYSPHSAA state championships (2005, 2007, 2008, 2023, 2025).

  • Recent Season: Led the Garnets to a flawless 14–0 undefeated record and a state title. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Beloved by players, students, faculty, and the entire Rye community, Coach Garr will also discuss his greatest challenges as a coach and why he decided against retiring after winning the state championship last year.
