Which Running Back rushed for 2,000+ yards in a season in high school, NCAA and the NFL?

I'm going to guess Barry Sanders.

I know he did in the NCAA and NFL - no clue about high school.
I suspect its somebody else, because if he had 2000 in high school, he probably would have ended up at a better program than Oklahoma St.

Nope.

Barry Sanders didn't have a 2,000 yard rushing season in high school. The correct answer guy had four of them, including over 4,000 rushing yards in his senior year.

Could they have coached other teams as well, or did they coach all with one team?

I'm thinking Gregg Popovich (San Antonio) and Jerry Sloan (Utah)

It was a good guess, though. Manny was quite a junior goalie back in the day.

They could have, but as it happens I think all 4 have been with one team for their entire head coaching career.
You got the top 2.
