One of the winningest coaches and most revered leaders in Michigan prep sports, former Birmingham Brother Rice coach Al Fracassa, died Sunday morning, the school announced on social media.

He was 92 years old.

Fracassa won 430 of his 554 career games at Royal Oak Shrine (1960-68) and Brother Rice (1969-2013), winning nine state titles in 13 title-game appearances. He was the winningest coach in Michigan football history at the time of his retirement, later passed by Farmington Hills Harrison’s John Herrington (443 wins).

The post from the school read:

“We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Coach Al Fracassa, a legendary leader, mentor, and unwavering champion of the Brother Rice community.

For over five decades, Coach Fracassa was much more than just a coach; he was a cornerstone of our school. With a record that ranks among the best in Michigan and nationwide, he not only built winning teams but also shaped young men. His legacy is defined not just by championships, but by the character he instilled in his players.

He taught us to ‘do it better than it’s ever been done before’ and to ‘do it right all the time.’ Not because it was easy, but because excellence demands it.

May he rest in peace. Let us honor him by practicing the values he instilled in us: hard work, integrity, and faith, both on and off the field.”

An all-state football player at Detroit Northeastern, and the president of his class in 1951, Fracassa earned a scholarship to play quarterback at Michigan State University, and was a member of the Spartans’ 1952 national championship team, and 1954 Rose Bowl team.

His coaching career started in 1955 at Flint’s Mandeville High School, and was interrupted by a two-year stint in the U.S. Army (1956-57). After a two-year stint as an assistant at Rochester, Fracassa took over at Shrine, going 44-19-5 in nine seasons.

He was a four-time Michigan high school coach of the year, national coach of the year in 1997, and was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. He sent more than 300 players on to college football, with 13 making it to the NFL.
