Football Background:
Coach Perrault grew up around the game of football and likes to consider himself a student of the game. He remembers being told early in life by both his father and coaches that "you can never know enough" about the game of football. It was this belief that helped him become a three year starter for coaches Ken Baumann & John Clark at Mahnomen, a perennial football powerhouse. Coach Perrault went on to play two years of football in college, missing his sophomore and junior seasons at Concordia due to a knee injury. Following college, he played several years of amateur or semi-pro football for the Lakes Area Screaming Eagles.

His coaching resume includes stints as a coordinator in all three phases of the game: offensive, defensive, and special teams. He has been a position coach for quarterbacks, runningbacks, wide receivers, linebackers, and defensive line. He served as a program coordinator for Frazee Youth Football in Frazee, MN. Coach P has also been a counselor at several youth football camps in northern MN.

When asked about his proudest accomplishments as a football coach, Coach Perrault says it is a toss up between back-to-back section championship appearances during his tenure as defensive coordinator in Waubun MN and breaking a 20-game losing streak during his first year at the helm for SPA. He says he is also quite proud of the fact that by the time he celebrates his thirtieth birthday this year, he will already have started his third season as the Spartans' head football coach.
