Tim Süe Süe Liufau to coach at Millennium High in Goodyear
CHINLE, Ariz. — Tim Süe Süe Liufau is filled with optimism for the future, because of the successes of his past. The next stop in terms of coaching varsity high school football could be a telephone call away.
That’s the mindset of Süe Süe Liufau months after resigning as the head varsity football coach at Chinle High School. The popular Süe Süe Liufau coached the football team at Chinle for eight years, before moving on to Millennium High School in Goodyear, Ariz.
“I will miss everything about Chinle High School and the community as a whole,” Süe Süe Liufau said. “It’s a great school and a great community and great place to work at.”
Süe Süe Liufau left Chinle in December of last year. He said his wife accepted a human resources specialist job in the Phoenix area, so it was a no-brainer to move south. He said he has his eyes and ears open for a head-coaching job in football at the new school but nothing has come about, yet. He stressed that he left Chinle on very good terms.
Meanwhile, Süe Süe Liufau, an Adams State University graduate originally from American Samoa, said he will most likely coach Millennium High’s football team in an assistant coach capacity.
Millennium, part of the Agua Fria Union High School District, went 4-6, 3-2 last year in the 6A Southwest division. Chinle, which plays in the 3A North division, was 5-5, 3-2 in 2017.
A telephone receptionist in the athletic director’s office at Chinle High School said a new football coach hasn’t been hired yet. Chinle Athletic Director Shaun Martin did not immediately return a telephone call, but has said in the past that Süe Süe Liufau is a good coach.
