Coaching career

Faulk was working as a volunteer assistant at Northside High when he decided to try his hand at coaching.

In February 2011, Faulk was announced as the new head coach of Vermilion Catholic High School football team. Under his leadership, the Screaming Eagles went unbeaten in the 2011 regular season and reached the state semifinals, finishing 13-1.

He left Vermilion Catholic after one season in 2012 to come back to Northside High and become their head football coach. He resigned on October 9, 2015 and finished with a record of 11-21. He was then offered the position of business teacher at Acadiana High School.

Faulk became the head football coach at Lafayette Christian Academy in March 2016. In March 2019, the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) suspended Faulk along with basketball coach Devin Lantier for one calendar year. The suspension prevented them from performing any coaching duty at all LHSAA schools at any level in all sports. It was due to a policy that required head coaches for football and basketball to be faculty members at the school, whereas Faulk was working as a volunteer. LCA filed a lawsuit against the LHSAA in response to the sanctions. In September 2019, an apparent agreement was reached between the LCA and LHSAA, and Faulk resumed duties ahead the first game of the 2019 season, coaching from the press box. The Knights won the state championship under Faulk for four straight years, from 2017 to 2020. They fell short of winning a fifth title, losing 27-32 to St. Charles in the Division III championship.
